OK game, with interesting mechanic. You can basically cut almost every part of buildings in the game, and make progress by creating a paths in environment. Bold move, because it is very easy to block your progress, but the game was clear enough that I alvays knew where I should go and when I have to reload checkpoint. This is this kind of puzzle game, where you don’t feel that you are doing what designers expect you to do, but often make some really weird stuff, which somehow works. I like this kind of games even if sometimes I had to push amd pull a huge rock for two minutes, to put it juuuuuust close enough to jump to next section.

HOPA. Standard HOPA. Nothing new, nothing below standards, The most innovative thing is that this time we are playing as a male. But I enjoy a good HOPA from time to time, I have soft spot for them.

Finding Paradise
9/10
Ok. Third time’s a charm dear developers. I didn’t like To The Moon. The emotions were there, but story was so ridiculuos, that I couldn’t take it seriously. I also didn’t like A Bird Story. There were so little gameplay there, that I felt like I watch a movie that was pausing in random moments and had to click from time to time to move it forward. But this one - I totally get it. I understand the main character, I can relate to him, and to his dilemmas. I was interested in the story for the whole game, and I even lost some sleep to finish it in one sit. The only little problem I had was I guessed the main plot twist waaaay to soon. But that didn’t bother me, I felt smart.
Eyy you liked Finding Paradise. :3 I don’t think the devs were trying to hide the main plot for it really. :P I too guessed it very early but the ending still got me hard! What did you not like about the story of To the Moon btw? I’ve actually heard a lot of people say that To the Moon’s story got them more than this one and and they feel disappointed about Finding Paradise. :o I do feel like more people can relate to To the Moon’s story tho.
It’s just this line of events… I don’t want to spoil anything, but amnesia in perfect moment is such a cliche for me… with this - I can totally understand that someone had the same kind of friend as a main protagonist. It’s believable.
