In point form:

  • Extremely short.
  • The only tricky puzzle was the ridiculous one with the platform inside the painting. Many were instantly recognizable, about three or four I beat by accident. I beat it in 3 or 4 sittings. I'm guessing 4 or 5 hours of gameplay?
  • "Story" is outrageously pretentious and nonsensical.
  • The epilogue was just ridiculous.
  • Great art direction.
  • Has no greater meaning.


I didn't hate this though. It was a perfectly acceptable indie-game that looked great. I don't understand how it can be considered "art" as it's not really a stellar example of the medium (videogames). It is arty, however. I hope it doesn't spawn an entire genre of pretentious indie-games trying to be art.
