Steam review snapshots
If you like story-driven games that actually use gameplay to make you feel something, this one is absolutely worth playing.The environments are beautiful but quiet, which makes the emotional moments hit even harder when they happen.Having each brother mapped to one side of the controller sounds simple at first, but the game does some really clever things…It’s a short game, but it uses its time really well, and there are a few moments near the end that stuck…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
