Tl;dr: has potential but ends up being frustrating.

This game is short, and little of it is playable -- a lot is artistic cut-scenes. So far so good, not everyone will like that, but I do like looking at pretty combinations of pixels on my screen while an atmospheric wooshie sound plays on my headphones.

However, in this case, I think videogame was the wrong choice of medium. Even if you describe the game on it's store page as a "walking sim", your players will expect some level of control over what they do on the game. By frequently fading to black and jumping to the next scene, you remove from the players the only decision they have on a walking sim: where to go and when. I swear, the moments I was most enjoying the game, it always faded to black. If the developers wanted to display art and sound in a sequential manner, for a fixed amount of time, that is completely valid, and they should have made a movie.

Another bad part that removed player choice was the weird amount of invisible walls. It's a highly abstract game, just let your players fall down from high places! It's not gonna break immersion, at least not as much as the walls themselves. Wanna give players a huge open space but don't want them to wander off? Don't give them a huge open space. Sorry, you can't have both.

Anyway, I do have to say that the architecture and visual effects of the game are really cool, beautiful and interesting (I wish I could spend more time looking at them before they faded to black). I didn't feel like they came together to form any sort of narrative, idea, world or cohesive thing, but there is potential. I hope the devs give us something else. Maybe a movie. If they decide to make another game along the same line as this, I would be ok with it being even shorter, as long as they corrected the gameplay issues I mentioned.

A sequence of scenes. In some scenes you will walk around a little; in others just watch and listen. The mood is somewhat dark.
