  Consider it as a neutral review Well, I knew what I was going to do, and it was short and creepy. But now I need like a 3 hour long youtube video explaining the subtext of the game. The graphics is good and minimalistic, and the scenes are very atmospheric, so one can feel a breeze of loneliness and escapism. Not everyone gonna like this experience though, because it's extremely specific, but I kinda liked it?

  Good, short game. Simple mechanics, a story driven game that is pretty linear, only 2 options for each event, so 2 playthroughs will one hundred % complete the game. Well made, easily worth $2.

  Very emotional yourney through uneasy childhood. Game is a bit like Limbo or Inside. It's not very long, you can play it a few times to see everything. It cost 1,99 euro and it's worth it.

  These kind of games a wonderful. Nearly like a detox of gaming. I tend to bury myself in MMORPGs and sandbox games in general. Having a small contained game that can be completed fairly quickly feels good, especially ones as clean, crisp, and interesting as this one. It's very short, but quite potent. I've only completed it once and I feel like there are other endings so I'll be jumping back in soon.

  A great little short game with a dark story. Although the gameplay is almost non-existant the atmosphere more than makes up for it. The graphics reminded me a lot of Inside and the sound design was incredible. In my opinion, the story is great however it can be a little too poetic and pretentious at times. That being said, I loved that it was focused around such a dark, taboo subject and I enjoyed both playthroughs to get both endings. It has it's downsides but it is absolutely worth the $2.

  Its a very short game, a dark story in it, the ambience is quite good for the story and graphics & art & sounds are very nice but the thing with this game is that there are some bugs in this game. (For example: sometimes the game stuck at black screen and to get rid of that you should change some in-game settings) Another thing is that game crashes sometimes and unfortunately you cannot save the game so if the game crashes in the middle of the story you have to start all over again. If devs fix these problems then its a playable and a good game.

  Waking up in the pool of your own blood in the darkness, You stand up and notice big facility with a sign Emporium, All you hear is ticking of a clock as if someone is reminding you that time is precious, Without anything to hold you back and with feeling of uneasiness your journey begins. Game lasts a 30 minutes, thats not long but if you have weakness towards philosophy and life experience you will gladly pay small price for Emporium. Although its just about exploring and giving out few answers which decides on ending, it is still fun time. It's simply a good bedtime story covered in interesting visual design. Hard to dislike if you enjoy unusual experiences. Give it a try.

  This isn't really a game in the traditional sense. I would call this an interactive art piece if I had to call it anything. If you are looking for hours of exploration and boss fights, look elsewhere. This is a very dark story with a perfect soundtrack accompaniment. There is approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour of play and should be played in one sitting. Can't beat the price when it's on sale, but it is well worth it at full price. I highly recommend you check it out.

  I went into this game really wanting to like it. The story really has potential, the atmosphere and design are minimalistic yet very unsettling and brooding, almost monolithic. There was a lot about this game that really seemed to be filled with potential, but ultimately never delivered. I came out disliking this game, even if it was inexpenisve. I think that ultimately there wasn't enough substance in this game to really make it a complete piece. The story, while very mature and grounded, ultimately never really makes you care about the characters or choices all that much. Just displaying depressing dialogue isn't enough to create a narrative. The gameplay really doesn't feel engaging, either. While I understand the overall goal of trying to create a sense of dread with the long, repetative nature of the game, there simply wasn't enough world or character building for the player to really connect with. A better, more engaging narrative with conflict or more important decisions could have really made this a much better experience. Too much minimalism really takes away from this, both in narrative and in gameplay.

  You play as a kid at the hands of an abusive mother and later as a man that lived through a life of mediocrity that eventually pushed him over the edge. You start as a young boy while you replay the most painful memories of your character's older self. Through the game you also dialogue with a old man (your future self) as in your last breath you reflect on what you were and what you lived through until the release of your last moment. I'd give this game a solid 9/10, it felt a bit short but damn was it worth it.
