Steam review snapshots
It can be long and a little bit frustrating if you want to achieve every ending and explore every dialogue, but nothing…As I said, the game is rather short and it has of course no replayability – it takes place in the same…ahah The game itself sells at 2,50€, at least in the Euro zone, and actually it's quite a high price for such…Only walking sim and interactive novel aficionados need apply.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
