What it is

A handmade narrative adventure game with stop-motion aesthetics. Players explore a retro-future spaceship, interact with characters, and uncover a cinematic story.

What players liked

Players praise its unique, handmade art and slow-paced, story-rich experience, akin to a point-and-click adventure or Wes Anderson film.

The catch

Barely a game, mostly slow walking back and forth to deliver items and hear dialogue.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 82% positive, but with 1,239 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
