would recommend for those who have an hour or two to kill to just explore and immerse yourself in the story.It's a short game, a simple walking sim that tells the story of a family broken.And if anyone was expecting jumpscares or spooks, none here (to my relief lol) as someone who is able to relate to…It's a short game, a simple walking sim that tells the story of a family broken.Why it fits
Best for players who want a compact, story-driven adventure with exploration and a melancholic tone. Story-and-place driven adventure Strong atmosphere and exploration Emotional, narrative mystery
