Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
Lively organic textures bounce off machinical coldness, swinging synth strings complement the constant roaring of waves to create a sometimes slightly unsettling, endless 45-minute holiday that I won't forget anytime soon.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
6 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
Very nice, short, low interactive story game showing you the progression throughout time.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
The fragmented destinations, atmospheric soundtrack, first-person exploration, and intentionally broken structure combine into a peculiar journey that feels more like experiencing somebody's corrupted travel memories than taking an ordinary virtual holiday.
