What players say

Players describe this free prologue as a short, cozy experience that takes about 30 minutes to finish, with a meditative gameplay loop of sorting objects and collecting memories. Some note bugs with achievements and a tiny field of view that causes discomfort, but most praise the relaxing atmosphere and use it as a demo before deciding to buy the full game.
