Visual style is amazing.


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.

Reminds me of that awesome Double Fine game no one played - Headlander.

Game play is pretty minimal, but I like the effort in doing something of artistic merit.

Not a long game, but very nicely made. The ending part with the live chat was really funny. They nailed the comments Laughing

Dunno it looks exactly like the overly promoted and listed on every sale page, "polygon pack" on unity store to me:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/polygon-city-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-95214
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/interior/polygon-office-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-159492

Thought of that the instant I saw the style. Could be me and fucking around in unity a lot, but that style always makes me think "They either padded this game with store assets, or copied a cheap generic very commonly seen on the unity store asset pack, style" (I can't go to the assets page without ONE polygon pack being suggested to buy.)

It's not unique or original, but it's very well made (with those familiar assets).

Please direct me to similar games, because this was really good Very Happy
It's nothing at all like Inside or Limbo, if those are what you refer too.

About the visual style: the graphics themselves are indeed that typical, simplistic 'Unity' style. But you have to see it in motion, I guess. It's more the overal package, with voice/music matching the scenes, transitions between scenes and characters,... stuff like that.
