I respect that it took a lot of vulnerability to make this game. The memories discussed and the overall dialogue are well done. My issue stems from the gameplay aspect. We're tasked to find bubbles of memories in a stagnant environment. On one hand that might be intentional- the lifelessness of the atmosphere. If so then I'm not the target audience. I don't mind a meandering walking simulator. I don't mind minimal gameplay. I mind lifeless worlds and environments because it becomes a test of endurance to get to more story. I don't think this game is bad. I think it's just not for me. If you are like me and prefer interactable environments with a living world then you will likely not enjoy this experience. If you're looking for a heartfelt story with relatable emotional themes and don't care about that other stuff then I do recommend playing this.
