Dec. 2024

The Search is a very good adventure game with a poetic story, some beautiful designs and a relaxing ambiant. For his low price, I recommend it!!! 💗

Thought I'd be painting, but it's just finding parts then throwing a brush at a canvas and getting some bits of philosophy thrown in. It would have been nice to see a painting develop little by little - it might have matched those 'words of wisdom'. Shortest game I've ever played, about an hour. I play offline so ignore Steam stats.

This is a point-and-click adventure game where you journey through several spiritual worlds that you've found yourself lost in. I think the correct way to enjoy the game is to take your time and enjoy the worldview and text. Most of the text is based on famous quotes from various philosophical books, including those by Carl Jung, so people who are familiar with such works may be able to enjoy the game to the fullest.

Very nice little game, was alot deeper than expected and was very chill and enjoyable. definitely recommend

A brief but nice narrative experience about art and self-realization with light puzzles and decent pre-baked graphics. The writing is not particularly polished or subtle (at times it sounds like a philosophy student trying to write an essay), but it has its heart in the right place, leading up to a positive, inclusive message. It also employs visuals to enhance the story, always in a simple yet clear and concise manner. Even the limited point-and-click navigation mechanic eventually gets incorporated into the narrative here, which is a really cool touch that highlights the game’s themes nicely.
