The verdict
A short, beautiful, wordless post-apocalyptic journey with a great soundtrack and light puzzles. Skip it if you want challenge, depth or story, or won't pay full price for ~3 hours.
Great for
Players who want a calm, atmospheric, wordless evening game with great art and music
Main risk
Very short and shallow, so full price feels poor value if you want real gameplay
What players love
