AGS Panel Rating

Though the writing sometimes veers into the distinctly flowery, this ode to loss is hugely impressive in execution. While the idea and design are solid on their own, it's the aesthetic aspects that hold the aces. High quality, semi-professional voice acting really brings the characters to life, and fine music evokes suitable moods. But it's in the wonderfully charming graphics that EU's world is fully realised. Colourful and expressive, the characters and backgrounds are wonderfully engaging, and draw the player into the experience. Recommended.

Original and unique concept, great dialogue and fantastic atmosphere. Great stuff.

who knew something so short could be so moving?

Voices and music just great (not to mention the dialogue among the three "creatures" around the crate, WOW). I felt like it might have taken inspiration from Willow and Tara relationship on Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, because the characters looked sooo much like them. I really enjoyed it.
