I really liked this game, it makes even a dumb idiot like me think outside of the box and it promotes thought, it tackles the issues of the modern day media and for me personally it hit a soft spot on the subject of depression linked to social media. i'd suggest this game to anyone who wants some food for thought and a cute well put together small game that doesn't take up much of your time but will stay with you for a long while

Although the general trajectory of the story would likely be familiar to those who keep up with articles on the psychological effects of social media (e.g. Essena O'Neill), Highlight presents its story in a compelling way. I've often thought of social media as a "highlight reel," and some of us can feel that our "ordinary" lives pale in comparison. Therefore, I thought the game was rather aptly named. I liked the way that Roos' surroundings were a representation of what she had posted online. In one room there'll be a snowman and a graduation gown, and in the next a beach and dress from a night out. What would a life (or environment) look like that was solely constructed from social media posts? What is left out? I also found the puzzles to be clever and intuitive. I don't consider myself to be particularly adept at puzzle games, and I was able to figure out each prompt with relative ease. However, I'm still curious what the "CW," "BF," and "...
