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.

Only for Netflix

I don’t want a Netflix account apple should remove this off the store

No guidance

You have to figure out every single mechanic from scratch and when most of them are wildly different from standard, having no guidance is a mistake. I made it to the weird bird thing?? And flew around the entire map for a looong time and made no progress because nothing was explained and there are no hints

Love it.

I’ve never really had a piece of interactive media that felt so right to me. I play a bit, pause, but I always come back to it, wondering what’s happening next. I see myself in Ezra, Conway, Shannon, Junebug, etc. I can just sit for minutes sinking into the ambience. There are scenes when I’m supposed to be clicking on something to advance but I don’t realize it because I’m content just sitting there and looking and being present. For someone with ADHD who usually plays hyper stimulating games like Valorant or League, that’s saying something.

Game literally unplayable without Netflix account

Just a scum y cash grab from an already scummy company. Can’t even play the game without a Netflix subscription. PASS.

One of a kind

Five Stars for this favorite game. Amazing how such a deceptively simple game can fire curiosity and wonder in a Twilight Zone-like atmosphere. Replays are rewarded with dialog choices that may or may not affect the story, but also lend a wonderful sense of life. Unfortunately, I’ll likely never play the mobile version since I’m not about to purchase a Netflix subscriptions just to play KRZ away from home. Zero stars for that feature —and I so wanted to see how the text dialog boxes were handled on mobile . . .

Reading extravaganza

If you like reading your games instead of playing, this one’s for you! While the animation and art direction here is excellent, it is no game in my humble opinion. It’s something akin to an interactive book — and should be marketed as such so people aren’t duped into investing their precious life minutes on something they thought might be fun. Sorry but, unless you have nothing else to do I’d avoid this “game”.

Quietly astonishing

I haven’t finished this and agree it’s not your typical game. If you love reading, watching atmospheric films and love Tom Waits this is the game for you. You must have the sound on, each chapter is totally different, so far. The visuals and levels of detail are amazing and I would love to see more of this. I can not recommend it enough especially for people who just want to chill. Really thought provoking.

Dull

Yeah agree with the other review. Just really dull, sluggish and forgettable.

Agree w/ boner

This game stated good, was very different but entertaining then I got stuck in some boring conversations in a bar & even though you can kind of fast forward what they say, by holding down, it kept going on for more than a half hour! I couldn't take it anymore so I ended the game, and later when I re-opened it again, I had to start right from the beginning! So not worth it to me..
