Before you wonder why I don't recommend this game, hear me out. I truly enjoyed this game. The unique asthetics and the design of the world is incredible. The mokos were insanely cute, I loved them to death. The soundtrack was great to listen to. Being able to sense the world form around you in shapes and colors really made me enjoy the game for it's entirety. But therein lies the problem. The game itself is just too short. There is even an achievement for beating the game in half an hour. To me, charging $15 for a game that you can beat in half an hour is just silly. The game is very well made and absolutely stunning to look at, but there just isn't enough replay value or content for me to see that price being justifiable. The demo came out over 2 years ago, so I was expecting at least 3 hours worth of game to explore. Yes there are small orbs to collect, and I do plan on going back and getting 100% of the achievements, but that $15 price is just too much for me. I would see paying...

This game is beautiful and very atmospheric. I will admit that it is short but still worth it, plus the little mokos are cute!

I bought the game because the idea was interesting and I liked the graphics. However, this game failed to deliver. Graphics are great, the music is nice and the spirits are adorable, but the story and some of the game mechanics won't make any sense. Making a blind girl do parkour? Really? The story also went from interesting to way too dark and confusing. The price is too high for a game this short IMO. In the end, even though I found it on sale, I don't think it was worth the 4€ I paid for. I ended up uninstalling it without finishing the game, it just wasn't fun to play.

I really didn't like this game. [b][u]Lifespan :[/u][/b] If you don't try to get the collectibles, you can finish it in under 30mins and I don't see anyone playing this twice except for achievements. [b][u]Story :[/u][/b] There's a crow that gives you vague sentences all throughout the game and it ends up with a quick written epilogue that makes you feel like you've missed half the story. You're supposed to be a blind girl but the way you see feels more like you're on drugs than your blind character giving images to sounds and you're always running and jumping everywhere... [b][u]Gameplay :[/u][/b] There's a weird mechanic that enables you to "see" where you're going... but it's done horribly. Some strokes of colour appear around objects when you get close enough to things or when there are sounds next to them ( for exemple when you throw the cute hamsters to walls ). But these strokes of colour are often just chaotic and personally they gave me a headache. At first it was okay, bec...

This is a bad game. It's hard to know what to specifically single out. That a game about a blind girl relies entirely on visual cues for progression? That a game about sound can be played with its sound off to no ill effect? That it's entirely built around the 'blind people develop super senses' trope the blind community hates? Or maybe the abysmal level and puzzle design, that combines the worst of banal quick-time challenges with the worst of rote difficulty? Or the completely nonsensical story? There are people here praising the visuals, but aside from the idea that theoretically a world built around pulsations of movement could be interesting, it just looks like LSD vomited the 70s all over the screen. Worse, that the screen slowly went black as you stood still made it impossible to survey your surroundings as a way to figure out what the hell you were even supposed to do. Any why did backgrounds frequently load before foregrounds, making it so I would just walk into walls for sev...

Sounds like an intriguing idea. Unfortunately it has unplayable framerates on macOS, right from the initial menu, even on a 2016 Macbook Pro. Tried reducing to lowest visual settings, but made no difference. I'm not sure if this is the case for Windows, but Mac purchasers be advised.

Double Check Your Specks: Intel HD Series Does Not Work As excited as I was to see Pixel Pi finish this game, I did not know that the Intel HD series cards would work so bad. I get a new frame every 5 seconds. Since the demo worked fine on my MacBook (hate me as you will), I thought the final version would as well, sigh. As far as gameplay, I have only played the demo. It's a fun puzzler as you use sound to find the path to navigate your enviroment. The use of gongs, crunching leaves, and growling monsters to paint your enviroment is beautiful and unique. I have downloaded the soundtrack and like it, it's very chill. Since I have to give it a thumbs up or down, I'll recomend it. I've liked this game before it came out so call me biased. So yeah, I'm not the most helpful when it comes to gameplay but I thought my computer would be able to run this since it runs most games for Mac. Just make sure that your graphics card will handle the game. Is it worth the price: I don't know but I ...

This game is painful to play. It doesn't help that the checkpoint system (if there is one) is atrocious. If you are still adamant about playing a game with a blind female protagonist, check out [i]Beyond Eyes[/i].

A short and sweet audio-visual experience with the focus on "audio" and "visual" - seeing via sound. And it has cute Mokos!

this game was not great, just only ok it had great psychedelic visuals (if you suffer from photosensitive epilepsy do not buy this game) it was really short at least 20 mins of my 48 minute game run was just navigating the ice maze (took me like 10 mins to notice it was a maze) I didn't really understand the story other then the general gist of it each death has a slow 5 second "you died" screen edit: ehhh upon further remembering of this game I don't feel that it was worth it
