Great work. I remember this form back when it was a much smaller game. If i remember well it was about crossing a busy street as a kid, adult and old person.

I don't know what to say. Im not a big fan of theses types of games,but when i saw this game in the store page i though, "I'll give it a try". I was wrong. This game has so much detail in it. It made me sad,but it taught me things, so i highly recomend this game :3. 10/10 5 starts or whatever the maxium is.(Ps) Make the game free and complete and then see how you can make money. :) :3

Well I have played the game on 26.01.17 so I did not came up with any bugs that people complained about. Anyways game is little,simple,easy to play, relaxing but the main thing is like its a bit of out-of-box thinking, educative game. I really suggest mostly 'young' guys to play it. Mostly takes an hour. The only down side is yes game is free, but most of the things(levels) are just locked. I dunno if we can buy it, where to buy it, how to buy it. But its locked...

A dark/sad/weird/funny first person exploration game. You play a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank.
