Cute and surprisingly emotional evocative 1-1.5 hour experience. You play as Emeth, an adorable robot whose purpose is to find the lost planet Earth. It's mostly a visual novel, with each section being broken up by you finding and scanning solar systems on a star chart. It's not the most thrilling gameplay, but it provides proper ludonarrative harmony, serving the story and themes well. I enjoyed my time with it, but I think I would have been a bit annoyed if I'd spent the full asking price of 15 dollars on such a limited experience. Probably best to grab this one on sale.

Logbook - Entry 40 It’s been 40 hours now that I’ve been searching for Earth… And still no trace. It seems like I’m left with two possibilities: either I’m really bad at this, or some part of me refuses to accept that one day, I’ll have to finish this journey… and uninstall this game. But deep down, I know what’s holding me back. It’s not just the thought of finishing the mission. It’s the fear of abandoning Emeth, like the doctor did. Leaving Emeth alone, drifting in the cold, endless void of this universe, is unbearable. So, I keep scanning... Not just to find my way home, but to give him a reason to believe that I’ll always be by his side. End of entry.

A simple, short, yet sweet game about a robot wanting to find Earth, and learning about its creator in the process. Yes, it's originally a mobile game, so some things may not be as polished as if it was made for PC, but the story way more than makes up for it. It's a really neat game, and it's a great introduction to SIGONO's games.

OUGH... LITTLE GUY SIMULATOR... the day we found earth has all the fundamentals that team sigono would go on to build on in their future games: the trademark lineless art style with a wonder-filled expression of space, a simple and affective story with lots of environmental detail that sketches out a picture of what's happened beyond the main characters' perspective, atmospheric sound design, and a chill gameplay loop. and while you don't NEED to know the real-world cultural references in the backdrop (for this entry of the opus series, jewish folklore/mysticism and hellenistic history) to enjoy yourself, if you do happen to have that knowledge you will stand up and do the dicaprio point when you see what the devs did there. also it must needs be said that emeth is simply the Cutest little space golem. he's just a little guy... just a little guy doing his best... tl;dr you WILL smash add to cart if you enjoy babby robot and want a short little narrative (plus postgame extras, of course) that won't overstay its welcome. look into his little eyes. you cannot say no to emeth opusseries. you Will Not say no to emeth opusseries. open your heart and welcome into it a little guy

We're finding Earth with this one Lovely story, simple yet charming art style, beautiful music. The main "gameplay" loop here is about locating planets in a star map with the final goal of finding Earth, a mythical place long thought lost. You play as Emeth, a robot with the personality of a child, and you're supported by LISA, an AI that plays the role of a mother figure. The lore is very light but it doesn't need to have articles upon articles of wikis as your imagination can more than make up for the gaps. Also, the bonus missions were fantastic and had me genuinely intrigued. I saw some other reviewers complaining about how Emeth is obnoxious which, yeah, I mean he's a kid but so what? Delving into the story further raises interesting questions as to WHY he's programmed in that manner. I think the only thing I could complain about is how there's no overhead map of the galaxy to reference from. Granted that would've trivialized the game but it's somewhat frustrating to be randomly scrolling and trying to find a celestial feature which you KNOW exists...somewhere around here. All in all, a very cute game that doesn't overstay its welcome.
