Dear esther
« on: March 03, 2012, 05:46:28 AM »
Just finished the game and all i can say: fucking awesome game! Its something complete different than other games, you cant pick anything up or use things basically the game tells you a story. The graphics are amazing, mind blowing if you ask me.  It sucks that the game is so short (1-2 hours). Just wanted to share this awesome game with you guys! Also, its on steam for like 4-7 € or something.

I thought I'd play through this too, until I watched some actual gameplay. Most of the locations don't really have that amazing graphics, and all you do is walk around from the beginning to the end. Miiight just end up giving it a go though, if I manage to sink deep enough into it it might be a rather pleasurable experience.  :)

I started playing it a couple of minutes ago and it actually seems cool. Thanks for posting this, Neotec!

I played it when it was just a free source mod, not very "game-y", more of a place for the story to play out in. I enjoyed it, but I'm probably not going to buy this version just because it looks better :P

Along with Limbo and San Andreas my favourite game ever, so inspirational.

Finished it a couple of minutes ago and it was quite good. Very poetic, I guess. The ending was a little weird but if you've listened to his "letters" it makes sense.

Thanks once again, Neotec, for recommending this!

Edit: Does anyone have a download link for the soundtrack?

Finished it a few weeks ago. Gameplay's only like 1,5 hours long but it's a pretty awesome game. I just don't like how they removed the function to run, at some points only being able to walk makes
you kind of bored.
