[h3]埋もれた名作[/h3] 老作家トーマスが主役の一人称視点ナラティブゲーム レビュー数が27しかないのが信じられないくらいの良作です 売り方が良くなかったのかなぁ もっとホラー寄りなら注目されたのに… ※ホラゲ程ではないですが一部怖いシーンがあります それはさておき、非常にクオリティの高い作品です グラフィック、音楽、ストーリーいずれも素晴らしかったです 日本語は未対応ですが XUnity.AutoTranslatorでリアルタイム翻訳ができました ご参考までに

A nice little 2/3 hour experience, I think it's worth the price, especially on sale, no brainer! Some of more puzzley elements towards the start of the game work well and feel pretty polished. The environments and art looks really great, and the sound adds a lot to the experience, really enjoyed the footsteps being blended with the sound of the ticking clock. I enjoyed the scene/house changing as we progress through the story, there's a lot of detail. I did get stuck in the war part for ages trying to find the last poem piece, and then trying to find the door to exit, some more guidance there would have been really helpful (clearer path to follow). The object inspect was a bit hard to rotate objects to be able to read newspaper cuttings. I thought the story was good, but didn't quite dig into the full impact of Alzheimers, that it maybe could have, but that's just my personal opinion, alot of the voice acting was good but the main older man, Tom I think, sounded a bit like someone putting on an old man voice rather than an actual real older person, so it probably stopped me being fully emotionally invested. To be honest though, as a teams first game, there's so much to love about it, and it's really worth your time!

I rlly enjoyed this game, the message was both beautiful and haunting at once with an atmosphere to match, the gameplay was p simple but I still thought the puzzles were cool, and (spoiler warning) [spoiler] I thought the looping thing with the end was rlly unique and fitting [/spoiler] my sole complaint was I had a little difficulty with interactions with cabinet doors, particularly on the larger closets. Hell of an emotional ride, very well made esp for a first full game, and it was nice to see smth like this dedicated to those with Alzheimer's. Was also honestly refreshing to play as an elderly character and see those accommodations as actual features in the game. Definitely recommend if ur into more walking sim/puzzle type games. (sorry if the wording's a little weird, I'm tired but wanted to review while it was fresh lol)

The game reveals how it feels to loose your mind / memories. It helps people understand more closely what happens in the head of someone with dementia.

I don't want to be too hard on the devs because it is their first game. It's beautiful, sad and powerful and gives you a strong visual representation of what it feels like living with Alzheimers and how loved ones are affected. It's a disease I wish never existed. However, with gameplay, it's not great. There's no option to save your progress if you can only play for a short period of time and don't finish a chapter. As a busy adult, that's just a no-no for me at this point. It's really too bad because I was excited to play this. But I also hated wandering through this maze to find three cogs where every corridor looks the same.

Its a short first-person narrative puzzle game about an elderly writer living with Alzheimer’s. The puzzles are simple, but the atmosphere and storytelling are the real strength, quiet, intimate, and genuinely emotional. A bit easy to get lost at times, yet overall it’s a touching experience that stays with you.
