Review Pipo 4/5 · Jan 11, 2022
A short but evocative experience
A short but evocative experience.
The style is very minimal, but I liked it for that reason, simple but at the same time I couldn't stop thinking and looking at it.
It has a very weird progression, some would say it feels like a David Lynch thing, and the sound design is very great, completing the atmosphere of the experience. …

It's simple to play and of course the gameplay part is not the focus, though it has 1-2 sections where I was stuck for some minutes, still fun and "engaging" enough to go on without thinking like I was just watching and clicking randomly, and for this kind of game it works perfectly.
I liked the underneath theme of sex and love, I liked that at first is not very clear and after a while u start to get it, I also replayed the first levels to see if they could be seen in a different light. I'm not a very good one when it comes to understand this kind of stories though, but I liked that it becomes a little more clear going on because it made me invested in wanting to understand a bit more, while other games like these may be too convoluted and u end up not caring a lot about the theme (at least me).
What I was not very sure about is that it feels pretentious, like these kinds of very abstract/minimal experiences with an important theme often feels. All the little scenes feel like there was a simple idea behind them, and it just feels more complex because it is hidden and just put in a way that makes it feel more shocking. It's hard to put this down on paper, but is the only thing that I wasn't really fond of.
Overall I really liked it and games like this inspire me, it was also cool to stumble upon it by accident, making it even more surprising
