How Long Is Moirai?
It's a free game, 3 minutes in length, and totally mind-blowing.
It's difficult to write a review for this game, because it's so short and anything one can say about this game would spoil the whole thing. The game is available for free on Steam, it's 15mb in size, and it only takes around 2 or 3 minutes to complete (although I played it a couple more times to explore the mechanic).
Moirai is a rather simple game, but it has an ingenious mechanic, a brilliant idea. I feel like someone could expand on this basic premise and make something truly remarkable. This game is unique, unlike anything I've ever played before, comparable to nothing. It's not a joke game, it's not a 2 minute walking simulator, it's actually a pretty serious game. The key to this game lies in the strange central mechanic, which I can't mention without ruining it. Thinking now, the only comparable game I can think of is Castle Doctrine.
This is all I can say about it: grab this game, try it out, play it now. It only takes 2 minutes and you won't regret it. Simple, ingenious and unique experience, absolutely brilliant. I'd love people here on Grouvee to have a go at it and …

A brilliant and very short game with incredible story telling methods
Moirai is a brilliant game with a great method of story telling. There isn't a whole lot else to say about this 5-10 minute game other than play it.
Story
Moirai is an incredibly short game (7 minutes for me) where you play as a farmer in a village and you investigate a missing woman. To say anymore about the story would ruin it but it is an incredible example of engaging story telling
Gameplay
There isn't much gameplay, you walk around with fairly clunky old-school controls (A/D is turn left/right for e.g). The only thing you do is interact with people to talk to them or objects to inspect them.
Presentation
The graphics also have an old-school appeal reminiscent of early 90's first person games, I think it achieves its desired style well. The audio adds a lot to the tense atmosphere of the game.
this game was pretty good. my experience for anyone who has played it(major spoilers ahead):
Then I answer the NPC's questions as follows:
oh its a long story. kinda tired and too lazy to type to you though. U scared?
Why do you have a knife?
What this old thing? :smile:
I hear moaning in the cave what have you done?
Hmm? I dont hear anything? :smile:
