Relaxing trip inbetween other games.
Free trip to de-toxify inbetween more demanding games.

Review Matryoshka 1/5 · Jul 1, 2018
Found this in my steam library, idk if I got it as a promotional thing, if I downloaded it for free, got it really cheap, or if I just bought it because there are no games made for Mac. Anyway, this isn't a game I would have gone out of my way to find, so I was very surprised at …
Found this in my steam library, idk if I got it as a promotional thing, if I downloaded it for free, got it really cheap, or if I just bought it because there are no games made for Mac. Anyway, this isn't a game I would have gone out of my way to find, so I was very surprised at what I found when I opened it.
A short platformer with beautiful music, pretty graphics with a nice level design, and a great and deep, albeit minimal, story. I was impressed with how few words the creators could bring out such a story, but it works because the game itself is extremely easy, which soothes the player. The ease of the game mechanics sort of blends together with the serene story of the joyful, yet sorrowful self-sacrifice that the player is making by just having the player jump, using WASD controls to move, and not punishing the player for their mistakes. It became a more impressive game during the end credits that the entire thing was made by just three guys and marketed by just one woman.
Just a good short game and if you have an extra 30 minutes to spare someday and are looking to relax and unwind, I recommend picking this little hidden gem of sentimentality and spirituality up over a shitty mobile game.

The premise is pretty simple -- you collect the six tablets, place them at their respective stations, activate the necessary things, and ascend. My favorite part is that you cannot die, so it ends up being an almost relaxing gameplay …

The premise is pretty simple -- you collect the six tablets, place them at their respective stations, activate the necessary things, and ascend. My favorite part is that you cannot die, so it ends up being an almost relaxing gameplay experience where you can simply focus on the mission at hand. It's absolutely worth playing, and there's no risk since it's free to play. I really really enjoyed this game.
