Aya's Journey

Terrible game. Stay away! It is just a ripoff of Limbo {which is a suberb game!} but this game has NONE of the good points from Limbo. It just looks like Limbo. This game is a total ripoff, it's not fun, you die without warning, you can't go back, the kid is like 3 feet tall but can jump 15 feet into the air, it's not at all cute, fun or entertaining. All Thumbs Down.

I hate to be the first negative post but I shall review none the less. I had high expectations for this game as I like less than well-known games especially ones with a spooky vibe. It is plain to see that this was made in the interest of being similar to the popular and amazing game limbo (one of the reasons I chose to purchase this game). It is a simple and straight forward puzzle platformer with the dark theme and style stolen straight from the aforementioned game. Sadly the game is so simple that it is not interesting. All you do is move forward with no real goal which would be fine if the actually gameplay kept you engaged. All puzzles are too simple and very obvious. I know this game is in early access but most puzzles can be seen being triggered and therefore know everything before it even happens (i.e. moving obstacles). The early stages of this game also reflect in visual and controls where everything appears rather cut up and static instead of fluid. This paired with the fact...

Looks like a rip off of Limbo but doesn't play like Limbo. Very unpolished game. Maybe the devs will prove me wrong but as of now IMO its not worth playing.

A simple game that is mostly enjoyable but there are frustrating things. It took time to get used to moving with the arrow keys. WASD doesn't work, you can't rebind, and your mouse is useless until you die and have to click Continue. That's like asking me to crab-walk backwards. Still worth 2.99. I played it during downtime at work because it's not demanding and auto saves constantly.

-The game is good and puzzles are not too difficult. -Not much story behind the game. -Screenshots looks creepy and scary, but it's actually not. -There's probably more to come once updates are in. Stay tuned and follow the game! -My only pet peeve is that whenever I die, I have to lift my hands off the keyboard and hold the mouse in order to click continue to respawn.

If your a fan of Limbo then you will like this. Few times I had to push an item a little to long to get it in place for the puzzle but not sure yet if that is part of the story or lack of. Can't wait to see what else comes of this title... Pros: Artwork, Atmosphere, similar style as Limbo, price, early access Cons: Repetive Soundtrack, pushing something at a slow pace for what seems a little to long

Aya's Journey is a "template" flip. The Russian asset flip scammer behind this filled out a basic template in the craptastic Cocos2D (a blight on gaming), changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and put it on Steam as if it was their own game. Aya's Journey is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Limbo (Copyright Playdead/Microsoft Game Studios, 2010). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Playdead/Microsoft Game Studios against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown. Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping...

you guys give me hope in making an amazing game. thank you

I think this game is great. Especially if you consider that this game has been made by just 2 people, they did a very good job! I hope this game comes out of early acces soon. In my opinion, for this price the game does not need that much more work. There are some very scary suprises in the game. I am curious to see what they will come with in the future!

This is a change in pace for me, because I genuinely hate writing this review. I've wondered why the 'Limbo' style games never caught on. Until now. This game is like Death Stranding, except bad. Bad in an irredeemable way. I don't even think it matters what I say, because this game seems to be in eternal 'Early Access.' It's very likely the 2 people working on this game (that's not a joke), gave up on this project as no progress has been made in 3 years. But hey that's what happens when you allow 2 people to run a game company with ADHD. (that's a zinger). This game was made with paint, and runs at 60 frames. Only problem is that at most, any given object has 2 frames. Including our Limbo rip off. Of which, you can't tell if they are looking into the awful repeating background or blinking every second. You know what made Limbo's dark atmosphere great? It blended well, it was quiet, it allowed the curiosity of the player to do the work for it. This game just throws a bunch of random ...
