A rather short Limbo-like platform game. Nothing exceptional but not bad at the same time.

A rather short Limbo-like platform game. Nothing exceptional but not bad at the same time.
In the game you control a robot (that reminds me a dog for whatever reason) that for whatever reason reminds me of a dog. Crash landed on an unknown alien world your quest is to follow your maker and explore the planet. The first thing you encounter is an audio log of the person who gave you free will and you learn that he went ahead of you. Nothing else is explained and you will learn a lot on your way while exploring the planet. To be perfectly honest the plot is pretty thin and after finishing the game I have no idea what the story was really about.
Graphicly this reminds a lot of Limbo. The environment is simple though unlike Limbo with a dash of colour. It also gives the same a little eerie vibe. The only thing standing out is the main character who is quite detailed and because of that a bit out of place. Though you get used to it after a while.
The sound design is pretty good. The soundtrack is a bit eerie and unsettling working well with the game play. Apart from one or two instances where the music goes disco for unknown reason. Luckily it's not more than a couple of seconds at the time. The narrator in form of left audio logs is nice to hear and is a welcomed addition.
Mechanically it's Limbo through and through. Well not entirely but close enough. You move along and solve environmental puzzles along way. There's no fighting, only jumping, climbing and moving blocks and stuff like that. The puzzles are not too complicated and well designed for the most part. The character however while jumping have a tendency to get magnetically pulled towards ledges which was a bit disturbing.
In the end I will say this. If you've enjoyed Limbo you might like this as well. Not as good but pretty good. The story doesn't hold up. Finished it and I have no idea what was it about. Enjoyed it for the most part however and since it's fairly short you'll be done with it before it starts to get annoying.
