Electric Sleep

Although this game is relatively short and simplistic in its design it is amazing how strong a hold it can have on you. Its beauty lies in how well all of its components work together to take you on a journey through the (human) psyche. The start may be a bit slow but after it gains momentum the sort of heavy feeling in the beginning is supplanted by yearning for more. The story is eloquently revealed through a variety of perspectives (this description really doesn't do the storytelling justice), the art beautifully reflects the ambience the text creates, and the soundtrack enriches every aspect of the game but also shines on its own. TL;DR: Liked it would recommend, roller coaster of emotions with a couple hours of gameplay and really cool music.

A neat little story game with atmospheric music. It is QUITE short, especially if you're impatient and a fast reader, but fun to explore.

An immersive -emotional- experience. This visual novel-like game is a strong combination of very good writing and soundtrack. It gets your mind and soul moving. I really enjoyed playing and would recommend it. It got me invested enough to want to unlock everything. It took me about 3.4 hours. Very pleasant experience. It could easily charge more.

It depends on what you're looking for in a game but if you like visual novels then this might suit your tastes. There are 44 different endings you can get but also hundreds of different scenes depending on your emotion and location on the map. The dialogue is thoughtfully written and matches the different emotions well. The changes to the environment with different emotions is also a nice touch. The music is extremely lacking however as it gradually builds up the further you get in a path, meaning it's extremely empty at the start. The way you get new emotions at the end of the path feels unintuitive and mostly random. Also, I've definitely run into situations where I went down a known ending to get a certain emotion then got a different one instead. Overall a perfectly good game for the price if you enjoy the reading aspect of visual novels.

Attracted by the lovely pixel art, finally I put that game from my wishlist into my cart. I didn't expect to find what I got with it but I wasn't disappointed. In fact: the opposite. Here is a beautiful mixture of art, music and writing to play with emotions and in what they may result. This 'game' is definitely not for everyone but for those who dare to explore their inner world by exploring a fictional, dystopian world in this kind of 'self-repeating' story. Only 8 user reviews by the time of my review shows how less people are interested in pieces of art like this. At least all of them are positive. Brave new world...

The audio perfectly supports and enhances the emotion of each stage. It's so good!
