[h1] Recall: Empty Wishes - Review [/h1] [u] Overall Score - 7.7/10 [/u] [i] This game was a rather exceptional find one evening as I mindlessly scrolled through page after page searching for my next title to 100%. It managed to hold and captivate my attention from the very beginning of the game, the soundtrack in this game is beautifully composed and does a fantastic job at tone setting within different scenes throughout the game, adding just the right amount of complexity within the atmosphere. The story, the art, the gameplay while simple was effective enough to allow some basic exploration throughout your journey to discover what exactly has happened to Tommy. The game is rather short to completion, being able to 100% in under 3 hours, so if you are searching for an easy achievement grind, you just stumbled upon the perfect addition to your collection.
