PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2019

Should you play it?

This is you, and this – is You. Both of you have something in common – exceptionality in a monotonous moment of time, when meaningless decisions have to be made. Or meaningful, to such an extent, that there is nothing left once they are made.

What works

  • Deep, introspective narrative
  • Multiple endings with unique music
  • Immersive melancholic atmosphere
  • Thought-provoking existential themes
  • Low price and accessible

Things to keep in mind

  • Lack of skip/fast-forward features
  • Tedious repetition for multiple endings
  • Slow pacing and transitions
  • Single narrator with uneven voice acting
