Steam review snapshots
Honestly, compared to the themes and objectives the game seeks to explore, its structure is simple, its length is short, its content…The story made me cry by the end.It is a short game, 2 hours really at most, but it is rewarding.Not being into tattoos or any kind of gothic and dark stuff, might also drag you out of your comfort zone.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual filtered by relaxing, single-player.
