Я сам...Это действительно серьезное заявление, но порой задумываешься, что отвечал ранее так же.Взглянуть даже на «ПАРАДОКС» и начинаешь представлять,начиная от корня заданного отрезка(цикла)жизни каждую ветвь и заканчивая возможностью бытия и результата... Злость или даже счастье.Наверное , просто тупик.В своей жизни я точно упустил что-то.Какую-то переменную.Знаю, что можно попробовать нормализовать и постараться приблизиться лишь к возможному , но это будет уже не то. Игра словно осколок реальной жизни, по которой она даёт нам пройтись и даже почувствовать её острые и возможно, не очень углы,даря очень сильные эмоции. Произведение очень сильное,глубокое, ироничное, что рекомендовать каждому я бы не стал.Не скажу, что это шедевр.Однако, оно очень сильно похоже на него.Очень рад, что такое можно встретить в наше время. В целом графика и музыка передаёт полную атмосферу, а сюжет мягко укутает вас в нежные переулки города и звуки толпы. ——————— Единственное| ——————— У меня вылетала ошибка в моменте , когда первый протагонист должен был услышать музыку с гор ...В момент , когда музыка должна была заиграть , она вылетала и ощутить историю первого человека мне не удалось из-за чего концовка сильно пострадала , но даже с учетом этого я сам дописал в разуме как оно произошло и конец оправдался. ### 1/5 — Non risponde ai comandi *2019-02-02, version 1.0.9* Ho tolto i sottotitoli, ma continua a non farmi sentire l’audio. Sembra un gioco vecchio. ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2017-12-22* Truly beautiful game. Loved the art style and the storytelling. ### 5/5 — Великолепно!!! *2017-09-18, version 1.0.7* Это шедевр! Просто. Купите. ### 5/5 — Interesting Story *2017-09-07* I have always found these types of games to be very interesting, the story is fabulous with an amazing art style. I totally would recommend this come to anyone who is looking to just lose themselves in a story ### 5/5 — Enthralling, With Replay Value *2017-08-25* I've been waiting for a game like this. There aren't any traditional puzzles in this game, but interaction is fun nonetheless. Unique, pithy narrative with gorgeous design. Each episode probably averages at 20 min, with great replay value since different decisions ricochet through the narratives. So much fun to be part of the creative processes of the characters--won't find another like this hidden gem. At least 3 hours of content, and first episode is free on Steam if you're skittish. ### 2/5 — Way too Short *2017-08-17* Love the art style and aesthetic of the game. BUT... it took me about 20 minutes to play the whole game! To me I think a $5 game should provide more to offer. All in all, it's not worth it. ### 5/5 — I really liked it! 😃 *2017-08-10, version 1.0.6* Was an interesting take on art, including math and how it is related to it. I personally liked it. I have recommended it to some of my friends and they enjoyed it as well. ### 2/5 — Bummer *2017-08-05* This is what happens when phenomenal artwork and storytelling is ruined by an abysmal audio track and control scheme. Whoever programmed this should be punched in the face: the game glitch quits a lot, and the interactive points are hard to select. I play a lot of iOS games, and this one deeply upset me. Especially since I used to work in games and could have easily solved these problems. Bummer! ### 5/5 — Un très bon rapport qualité/prix *2017-08-05* Un très bon jeu très immersif ! J'ai passé un très bon moment. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your patience. We released a patch today that will fix the problems you run into.
