Excellent interactive art

Love the style, mood , and surrealism of this place. Enjoyed very much, hope there will be a sequel some day
Negative reviewers miss the point...

Bizarre and beautiful, plus the sound design is superb. As stated, this is not a game in any sense of the word. This is interactive art that will transport if the individual interacting with it allows it to do so. Best played in the dark with headphones on. Herbal stimulation not necessary but is certainly complimentary. ?
Very beautiful artistic piece

This might not be a game but it is artistic and awesome, 3 Dollars will spend,. It only problem it has is a little short but from what I saw it has a excellent atmosphere and beautiful scenery to match it detailed levels. Each level has its own story to tell in a very unique way, that I never seen before. Perfect master piece I recommend to everyone who enjoys a small but interesting experience, you can’t go wrong with this.
Too Short

Brilliant game. Looks amazing, I love the juxtaposition of realism and the absurd or dreamlike. I would love to play a sequel with a real basic storyline and three times the puzzles. Ten puzzles? I mean, guys, C’MON!?!
It’s Art

I bought this going into it expecting an art type experience and that is what I got. That is what this is, art, interactive art. I loved it. I didn’t rush through, just put on my headphones and felt the experience. Do that, and you won’t be disappointed. Definitely worth the price.
Dreamlike and beautiful

I spent an hour inside this weird place and I would spend some hours more
Beautiful, but short lived.

I was totally entranced by the beauty and immersed in the gameplay, incredibly well done. I was disappointed to find out that after about 45 minutes, I'd reached the end. It would be great to see expansion in the future, though the excitement may be gone by then.
lovely quiet genius
