A slow, introspective walking simulator that shifts gameplay to mirror each character's physical and emotional limitations, creating a deeply personal sense of empathy.

What players say
Players split on this game. Some find it meaningful and relatable, others say the writing is unsubtle and the moral lessons are delivered with a hammer. Many agree the story is shallow and choices feel black and white, though the concept of playing through three stages of life appeals to some.
