Awards & Reviews

AGS Panel Rating

This game has beautiful graphics, as you'd expect from Ben.
It's very short and is missing a real purpose. With very few interactions and easy puzzles.
Definitely worthwhile in playing if you have a few minutes to spare though.

Seems like I found this short game much more impressive and accomplished than most people.

The main sci-fi plot and the way the a.i. character is used might be a bit cliche, but I found both the atmosphere and the relationship between the main humanoid characters really enjoyable. Actually probably those 2 characters, the color palette, and the open ending are the elements that make me remember Hope fondly and as a game worth playing.

Also, incredibly polished for a 48 hours effort.

Underdeveloped, but graphics & music make up for that. Dialogue is "uneven" (some important NPCs talk way less than it would be reasonale, some the other way around) but well written.

Play it!

Extremely short and easy game, I'd say even demo game, with a very nice graphics. I reminds me of The Dig :)

Graphics almost made up for the easy puzzles, unoriginal story and short game play.

Nice game, but it could have been much more. Looking out to future collaborations!
