This is a really beautiful game with gorgeous relaxing music.
A curious world created with an art style that gives a sense of depth & place, with a gritty realism.
The story is curious and on first experience could be open to interpretation. The fact that it's non-verbal with no descriptions or explanations in game means you do play through with mystery and curiosity.
As I played, I personally had a disconcerting feeling of dread mixed with the whimsical. It's only until the end I had the feeling of uplifting hope.
The music and sounds of this game are a triumph.

The one thing that lets it down is the actual game play and solving puzzles is less working it out, more, click on things until things happen. Which I think is fine for a laid back short and sweet game like this. But probably not to everyone's taste.

My first FMV and gosh it's a good one!
Well acted, great settings and environment. Takes itself seriously. Good story with some interesting moral choices. Though it's not too short, it's short enough not to form that much of an attachment to any of the characters unfortunately.
The more times you play it, the better. My third playthrough gave me an ending that I was not expecting at all.
Rees is right, every choice counts.

A compelling sci-fi mystery story with unique play mechanics. Enthralling from start to finish and leaves you with a few unanswered questions.

The game feels much longer then the 7 hours I played. It draws you in and turns you about and makes you question if you truly learnt the secrets of the island or not.

The soundtrack is incredible, though I am surprised such a highly regarded game such as this has no sound options in the menu, at times it covers the dialogue. I had the subtitles on so it wasn't too much of a problem for me.
The Voice Acting is superb by all characters and had me looking up the VAs and what else they have done.

I'm highly intrigued by the upcoming sequel (?) and what more it can reveal and how the developers take it.

definitely recommend this game, Highly recommend the Voice Actors, and the developers are definitely one to watch.

A delightful little game with cosy scenes of small slices of life. A nice way to relax and spend an hour or so in Milo's little world.
The hidden extra's are gorgeous.

Really enjoyed this game. A good point & click with a good story and cool art that reminds me of old comic books.
Puzzles fairly straightforward. Only had to refer to a walkthrough a couple of times where I had missed an item.
There's a couple of things that seemed as though could be interactible or unlockable but never did, "Something tells me I need to open this" so I'm wondering if I have missed things or it just was never added to the game.

If you are looking for the save menu, either Control + F5 or Fn + F5

An OK short point & click detective story.
I like the artwork and the game has a lot of potential.

Some connections/puzzles aren't too straightforward or make that much sense. And the vision hints are more confusing then helpful.
I didn't find the characters all that interesting, nor does the main character have enough depth to form any strong opinions on either way. Apart from perhaps a mild tone of sexism, in what seemed to be an attempt at recreating a stereotypical noir detective attitude. But perhaps some things were mixed in translations.

Both good and bad endings were ok. Things were tied up and story explained I guess.
The good ending is easily missed if you don't backtrack after speaking to the bard. Talk to the granny again before entering the hut
I had hoped replaying and getting the different ending would bring the whole thing more life, but no. It was all just, OK.

If you are looking for a short point & click game to waste away a couple of hours, this is perfect. Bit of something of nothing.
Best thing of the whole game, the artwork, which I quite liked.

Quality is awful and can't change the voice acting from french. the subtitles are in english but the quality is so bad you can hardly read them.
Tried fixes mentioned in comments etc, couldn't get settings application to open, it telling me the game wasn't installed, when it was.
Very disappointed.
If you can get the fixes to work, or don't mind low quality and can understand French, I'm sure it's great.

Short point & click puzzle game. Weird, quirky. Puzzles were good. Left with a feeling of... huh.

Early Access Review
A hauntingly good story that has me intrigued and hooked.
The characters are really well designed and have, well, character to them. Makes you want to know more about each of them and their personalities.
I love the unique style and look of this game, along with how well written it is. I tried the first episode for free and immediately purchased the full game, that's how good it is.

Highly recommend
