What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
But most importantly, it opens a dialogue and breaks taboos, a goal it explicitly states in its introduction upon first starting the game.
Interesting gameplay contrast between the calm, almost relaxing orca park and the harsh, painful reality of the memories, which makes the emotional impact even stronger.
I’ll also touch on the graphics, as you can see the developers’ effort here, and it effectively captures the atmosphere of each scene.
The audio is fine—nothing special, just a well-made soundtrack.
so yeah, important and disturbing issues, emotional stuff, pretty pictures, shame about the spoilers, unnecessary dialog padding and missing accessibility features despite their efforts, also mentioned on the store page. 10 bucks is pretty steep for what it is too, but if you missed the giveaway, there will always be sales. it's a recent title, hasn't had much of a discount yet.
Theme by theme

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
