Unbelievable game

Such an amazing experience, never played anything like it. Cannot recommend highly enough.

One of the best mobile games ever

Honestly this is one of the BEST mobile games Iโ€™ve ever played. It scratches every itch. No pay to win. No ads. Just straight up great gameplay. Thank you to the team.

Loved it! However,

I was super enjoying the game, and had finally figured out how to play it. then I accidentally hit the button to take the action that ends the game, and there was no undo. I know this game is like old enough to be in middle school at this point, but iโ€™d really have appreciated a confirmation screen there, and it would have been appropriate to the story to have it there. After ~550 minutes of play, just because of fat fingering, I ended the story on less than ideal circumstances. I also just was not ready to say goodbye to it ๐Ÿ˜ญ beautiful game but I am taking off a star for that. Highly recommended however!

Exactly what I was looking for

Great game, great idea, playable multiple times. Itโ€™ll suck you in

Still an incredible indie game

I played this game years ago, potentially a decade ago, and I just stumbled upon it randomly again. What a simple, beautifully deep game. Just played it again.
