Authentisch, witzig und cool!

### 5/5 — Striking Story

*2022-02-17*

This is some of the most unique storytelling I’ve ever seen in a game. I find it really inspiring to see the combination of surreal and personal tones in such a striking art style and clever simple mechanics. I highly look forward to this young developer’s future work and voice in indie games.

### 5/5 — Unique game

*2021-08-06*

I started to get fond of Scandinavian games and this will be one of them I’ll remember for sure.
The game brutally captures the feeling of loneliness as well as environmentalist despair and I thank the creators for that.

Short, but definitely worthy game, thank you!

### 5/5 — ¡Genial!

*2020-11-19*

Me gustó mucho la historia, me sentí conectada en muchos aspectos y sobretodo en estos periodos de vida mundial. 
Más que un juego, lo sentí como una novela gráfica interactiva. Me recordó mucho a la animación de PowerPaola. 
Creo que vale la pena comprarlo, es una experiencia interesante. 
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
