The notion of time-shifting and the existence of parallel worlds has long fascinated me, and this game executes those ideas beautifully. When I say "game," though, I'm tempted to call it something more akin to "art." For the sake of brevity, however, I'll stick with "game," even though my experience with it transcended the typical boundary between those two realms. The storytelling in this game is so good it's almost a sin. What it does to you emotionally shouldn't be allowed.
It's slightly unfortunate that this experience exists in such a condensed framework, but that only makes it signpost the moments that actually matter even more. The impactful games can often be the shortest, and this is by all means one of their number. Lasting all of five hours and a half, the tale it tells sticks with you far longer than its initial playtime. If you're a fan of intriguing mechanics and a story that tugs at your heartstrings, don't let the shortness of this experience deter you from it.

it was on sale for $1 and I do like other Daedalic games so I tried it - is it great, no - is it worth a dollar if you like games like this, yes - that being said, it's nothing special, it's not challenging, it's a linear story, there are no alternate endings, and it looks and plays like it's 15 years old..
it auto saves but luckily you never lose much when you die (I'd say under 2 minutes tops at the worst)

Amazing, just for the ending it is worth the time. It’s easy, it’s like a tinny visual novel in which you switch between the present and the past while listening to the story and completing some puzzles.
“I won’t stop, never, I will walk this crazy path a thousand times more I will not stop as long as I still have this great perhaps”
You will like the game “some distant memory” too but this one, eventhough is super similar, is more like a walking simulator.

I really enjoyed the graphics, the little Easter Eggs, the mechanics, I picked up all but 1 trophy as I played, & the main characters voice made it feel like I was playing a cozy game.
It didn't tell you how to run (Shift) and the part with the giant trash pile worms was a little confusing, but overall, it was a fun game to play in 3 hours ^_^

It's okay. The story has potential, but never really takes off properly, and (I think) I get what the ending was going for but it really would've benefited from more of an explanation at the end. The gameplay has a cool mechanic, though it gets a little boring by the end.
