God, I’m so afraid of ending up doing useless crap like that when I get old. I’d rather just play computer games. In this game, we’ll solve all kinds of puzzles by moving an old man left and right. Starting from the first level, you’ll notice the atmosphere is very similar to Distraint. And the gameplay, at times, too. You walk around the location, look for clues, and solve puzzles. The gameplay is very, very simple but engaging. Some puzzles will actually make you stop and think for a while, straining your brain. Other than that, it’s a charming little playthrough that’s definitely worth a couple of hours of your time. If you read the review and liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbsup;) The further - The better♥️

A really good, short, depressing point and click puzzle game about an elderly man losing his memory and missing his deceased wife. Nice visuals and trippy, ambient soundscapes.

I was really excited to play this as I really liked Jesse's previous games and I got to say my first playthrough was quite enjoyable. The theme is also similar to previous Jesse's games, although it feels more passive this time around. Also, as to be expected from Jesse, the style was quite charming and most puzzles were fun to solve. My enjoyment of the game stopped however when I started going for the achievements I missed in my first playthrough. Some were ok to do and sort of what I expected... with the exception of 2. They were not only timed achievements which no one likes, but worse than that, they were too tight and one of them even relied on clunky mechanics. After countless tries I did manage to get the first of those, although I had prior sucessful attempts that didn't trigger it. The one left though has been a nightmare and it killed my early positive feelings towards the game. To sum it up, you're required to beat the entire game in less than 22 minutes. In preparation I studied the levels, took notes, memorized the puzzles and started getting some runs done. My first one was already only a couple minutes above the maximum time, so I thought to myself it wouldn't be that hard and did a few more runs until I got a flow for the entire game. Well, I can now say that I do have that flow and yet after a number of runs that I lost the count of, I still haven't managed to trigger the achievement. I have even managed to get to the last interaction within the time limit, but unfairly, a cutscene plays after which still gets counted into the total time. My advice to Jesse, either extend the time limit or make it possible to skip cutscenes as they waste a lot of time per run. Despite my mostly negative review, I still recommend the game as it is still good at its core and a lot of players don't care about achievements so this frustration I'm feeling probably won't be something they'll experience. Pros: -Charming style -Nice sound design -Fun puzzles -Beatable in one sitting Cons: -Ocasional clunkyness intereacting with some puzzles -Timed achievements!

Not exactly my cup of tea, but very interesting game. The subject can be hard for some who have to deal with alzheimer.
