Land of Screens

I loved the art style in this game but, honestly, the characters were not very relatable and the story felt more like a morality play than an actual game. Honestly, the situations felt plastic and unrealistic, and when you combine it with the constant "don't you see how everyone is on their phones, even when it's deeply inappropriate to be on your phone", it just didn't work for me narratively. I'd love to see more games in this visual style. Overall, it was nice to be able to finish it in an afternoon, though.

In all honesty, this game had been rotting away on my wishlist for a long time (unfortunately, I can't remember when I put it on that list now). Going into the game for the first time, I didn't think too much about the name of the game itself—I only knew some of the previews I'd seen on Steam. I loved the art style; it kind of reminded me of Night in the Woods. Actually, a lot of this game was like Night in the Woods; through vibes, art style, and all that cozy, warm, small-town talk that this exuded was fantastic. Growing up as a small-town boy myself—practically living in the trees—then moving away from that into a routine and beige suburbia "paradise" was like a part of me was hollowed out. To be entirely straightforward, that's pretty much the entire setup for this game. Filling holes in your persona using social media engagement—either by passively consuming or actively warring against opinions outside your own—as a stopgap for healthy and genuine human interaction only leaves bigger holes and less time for yourself and others. Kinda ironic coming from someone taking their own time writing a review online, but knowing that the more reviews a game has here, the more eyes will pick this game up and learn the same lessons. Definitely not the whole "abstinence only" approach in their messaging, more along the lines of "everything good in moderation" and "in scary times, look for the helpers."

Eh, good enough for what it is, but nothing I'd ever revisit.

This is a short and simple but well written narrative-focused point-and-click game. It's story is about a girl dealing with a recent break up that ends up by accident noticing that sometimes disconnecting yourself from the internet can lead you to having more meaningful connections to those around you in real life. It is not as preachy as it looks at a first glance and I definitely recommend this to anyone that's looking for a relaxing/wholesome experience.

画风不错 玩了一部分没有什么很精彩的内容

jogo curtinho sobre o uso excessivo de celulares hoje em dia, achei a narrativa legal sem forçar muito por isso gostei c:

Wholesome little narrative game about disconnecting from screens and social media. Lovely art style and music, nice writing. It felt like playing through a short story. I recommend it!

okay so im almost done with the game and its cute and both depressing and hopefull. its mostly a walk-and-talk sim tho, gameplay is to make people connect with eachothers without technology! i think for its price its worth the 2 hours and a half of content it giving me :)
