nophenia

goosebump... for every fan of atmospheric exploration games a big recommendation. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring the stages finding anomalies, various themes and more.

No originality in the map design. No dreamlike sense of connection between areas. A completely linear structure. No landmark or focal point worth aiming for. No meaningful gameplay decisions. Not even the bare minimum of a goal. Literally, sh1t.

The adventure is too short. Recommended

I'm the target audience for this game so I enjoy it a lot. It's a game with a lot of Yume Nikke DNA for capturing the experience of just wandering around, just looking at all the cool stuff. Although sometimes if you try to explore an open area you can run into an invisible wall, or sometimes you . It's short, and sweet, and has a nice ambient, sometimes scary vibe, but it's just an enjoyable game for people into dreamcore exploraton games.

честно говоря я сильно разочарован в этой игре, особенно когда узнал её контекст... с таким же успехом я мог бы слоняться по мирам в VR Chat и рефлексировать чего то там своё. Можете считать меня старомодным или занудным, но я считаю, что в игре должен быть хоть какой нибудь геймплей. PS: "мне не особо по душе когда меня как игрока винят в том чего я не делал" что собственно и делает эта игра.

2025年五月，一位17岁女孩从美国圣约翰大桥一跃而下，结束了自己年轻的生命。她去世后，网络没有立刻陷入哀悼。相反，大量针对她的恶意评论率先出现。随后，越来越多人开始反击这些攻击，事件甚至引来了主流媒体的关注。那么此次事件为什么会有如此大的关注度？因为她在自杀时推特粉丝数超过一万，因为她热爱音乐，艺术，游戏。因为她是索尼克社区知名mod制作者，因为她善良，乐于助人，有耐心，因为她是一位跨性别者。

様々なリミナルスペースを作ること自体が、作者の趣味だったのではないかと思う。 ゲームのために空間を設計したというより先に見せたい空間があり、それを歩かせるための形式としてゲームが選ばれた。そんな印象を受けた。 純粋にゲームとして見れば、面白い要素はほとんどないと言ってもいい。だが、そこにある空間のアートワークは非常に感覚的で湿度や温度、古い建物の匂いまで伝わってきそうなほど生々しい。 遊ぶためのゲームというより歩いて鑑賞するための空間作品に近い。特にイラストや映像、ゲーム開発など感性的な仕事をしている人にとっては、強いインスピレーションを与えてくれる作品だと思う。 私は好きだ。

[h3] A dream explorer, yet a cozy journey. [/h3] As a fan of the backrooms aesthetic—or, more specifically, dreamcore and weirdcore—I really enjoyed this game and loved it. There’s something relaxing and mesmerizing about simply wandering through the locations, places that can evoke feelings of coziness, comfort, and nostalgia, as well as a strange sense of detachment from reality, just like in dreams! I tried to explore the game world as much as possible, stopping to enjoy the atmosphere or take some beautiful photos with Nia. I also liked seeing places that resembled the residential neighborhoods of the city where I live, maybe that’s why the game made me feel so at home. And the soundtracks are really good too! Overall, if you’re also a fan of the aesthetics of liminal spaces and would like to play a simple, small game without horror elements— [b] I highly recommend giving nophenia a try! [/b]

A work of art, simply and absolutely. And I think that way because to me it manages to convey very complex feelings and emotions just by literally setting a stage for you to explore, and as you continue onwards you are suddenly flipped over to a whole different ambience, like a dream. And just like a dream, each stage can make you feel out of place, disconnected, the feeling that something is not quite right but you can't figure out why, some can even convey a sense of alienation, a loss of self, an unsettling sensation akin to something crawling on your back, as if each stage was a portent to eeriness. But, and this is an important but, just like a dream it also shows stages that convey familiar feelings, nostalgic places that you never knew, vibrant fields filled with playful atmospheres, and views that we may have once imagined out of our reach but that are now stretched under our feet, [i]Hiraeth[/i] but in a positive way. In summary, I just really liked it and felt that regular words weren't enough to describe what it felt to play it, on top of that every stage is accompanied by an amazing musical score that really sets the tone, everyone should play this at least once in their life IMO, also the game is very photogenic.
