Rollercoaster

I wasn’t sure what exactly I should expect when I saw this game promoted on Netflix, but man was it worth every minute of my time. I finished it in one ago and went through a complicated rollercoaster of emotions as the story progressed.

The animation and voice acting is brilliant.

Everything comes to a clean ending that left me sobbing as the outro song played during the credits. Would recommend 100%.

Game seems great by gyro controls wrong

I’d love to play this game with full gyro controls but currently they work in the opposite direction to what you would expect.

Please add a toggle to reverse the axis of the gyro controls.

It’s very emotional

I can’t imagine just having a disease whoever made this game really made me cry. and it’s really heartbreaking because who kids would go through that it’s really sad and it’s such a young age to die at 11 or just when you’re just getting born 10 out of 10
😭❤️

incredible overall, a couple issues

the game is great, but the blinking is not always accurate, as sometimes i would hold my eyes wide open and it would still register a blink. also, the game is only about an hour and a half long, and i finished it in one sitting. game length is not the most important thing to me, i've enjoyed plenty of <10 hour games, but there isn't much replay value to this after the first, maybe second time playing

Great game

Absolutely loved playing it, the blinking mechanics made it really special. Definitely cried at the end!

If you’ve got sound issues, try turning off silence and do not disturb

Amazing

This game has the most meaningful and beautiful story that leaves me speechless afterwards
Everyone should play

Pure Art

I don’t even know how to describe it, but it was so beautiful! I bawled at the end, but was really happy, so 5 stars!

Emotional, different game.

I’ve never played a game like this before where I’ve felt so involved as a character. It really makes you appreciate the small things and the family you have in life! Lovely game. Took about 1.5hours to finish but I couldn’t stop watching.

A Beautiful Experience

This was was amazingly emotional life story to play through, I did not think I would be moved enough to want to write a review about it. I wholeheartedly recommend the game. This reminded me Netflix’s interactive movie’s in a way. Would love to see similar games under the Netflix portfolio.

Terrible mechanics ruin a mediocre game

I didn’t last long playing this game despite a strong desire to see the story through, but I found this game completely unplayable. The blink calibration and recalibration was always found with bugs, I got trapped in multiple stories trying to drag myself back. Going into the settings, I found that there WAS no way to turn in the blink feature, the settings were limited and functionally useless. I gave up halfway through, there’s no way that story would be worth it. I got this game free from Netflix and I’m STILL disappointed.
