  • Hated it but then it hit me

    I thought this was going to be a fun, enjoyable video game. It is not. A lot what they talk about, like XANADU, is real. This is real stuff that happened in computer science history, like browsing the internet “a single line of text at a time”. If you are one of the few looking for an opportunity to learn about the history of computers in the most off-handed, yet user-friendly way possible, then this is for you.

    It is a story about how the extremely hard-to-navigate information superhighway of the 60s, 70s, and 80s became the internet.
    If you’re looking for more, look into how Marc Andreessen developed Mosaic.

  • I never leave reviews, but…

    This game is an emotional exploration into capitalism and loss, with a touch of authentic Americana. It’s really more of an art piece, like a play, than it is a typical video game. Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re into obscure games that tell a bigger story, this is for you. It’s been months since I finished the final chapter and I still find myself thinking back to this story and its characters often. It’s a low poly masterpiece that makes you sympathize with faceless protagonists, and the music is phenomenally dreamy yet sad.

  • You need netflix to play this

    You need netflix to play this game, should highlight this first in the description to save downloading for nothing.
  • Beautiful game

    It's not quite a "game" in a traditional sense, where the player affects and make differences on the story. It's more an "experience" and sensation. I loved the mystery and visuals. Spectacular and just enough "strangeness" to keep me hooked. Thank you!
  • Controller support please

    …Backbone support!
  • A Masterpiece

    This is definitely a must try if you love an immersive experimental theater experience. I have Netflix account so I can play it on my phone but I guess they also have it on steam. The headset is a must when you play it, trust me. Just one small bug, I need to restart the scene of picking up mushrooms and change some choices to go though..

  • It tries. If you’re caffeinated.

    This is not a “game” it’s a very, very, slow choose your own adventure book. If youre on an airplane, in jail or stuck on a 16hr bus, MAYBE you’ll find this amusing. It’s basically like ready a book, one line and a time and clicking to get to the next line. God bless those who have the patience or lack of energy to try and follow this mess.

  • Once in a lifetime experience

    Not for everyone
  • Gorgeous Game

    I absolutely loved this game. The art and music are beautiful as well as the story. However, it is by no means a flashy or fast paced and it frankly felt akin to reading a book in a lot of ways. It’s around 10 hours long and split up into 5 chapters, so definitely longer than what you could play in one sitting. Although I would definitely recommend giving it a shot for the touching narrative and charming cast of characters.

  • Save games busted

    I enjoyed the game but I saved it and quit and when I loaded the next day it was like I was dumped into the middle of the game in an unfamiliar area with and additional characters with me. Very disappointing I don’t feel like I want to continue playing now. Too much time in it to start over.
