What players say

Players describe AFAR as a short interactive film more than a game, with a runtime around 30 minutes and decisions every few minutes. The visuals and VHS-style effects are praised, but reviewers consistently warn about intense red-to-white flashing that can cause seizures. Opinions split on the writing and acting, fans of director Jason Trost's prior work are its core audience.
