This works like counting sheep.
I suffer from insomnia and I find this game very relaxing and a very good game to play before bed time.
What is more to ask?
- Lovely music
- Cats
- Crazy beautiful colours!

I am sure going to revisit it again. My only complains is that I want more cats in each scene. There is never enough cats to find! <3

Every day, we hear and read many stories. Most of them we forget. The Gap is a story you'll never forget. It is wonderfully written, informative yet cryptic, hopeful yet ominous, and, despite its simplicity, incredibly detail-oriented.

I don't want to spoil the game for you, but you're here to ask me if you should get this game, and I will do my best.

- It occasionally delves into scientific and medical themes, providing light reading on the subject. This was a source of joy for me as a retired medical professional. I realise the dread that could be to others who are less interested in medical or scientific information. Trust me, it isn't heavy on the topic, and what is mentioned is thoroughly explained.

- Prepare to read a lot. It is a walking simulator with puzzles to solve and objects to interact with. The puzzles are based on auditory and visual signals and are extremely pleasant.

- With the exception of the final chapter (more on that later), this game was easy to play. One thing to remember is that this is not a linear game. Do not expect yourself to solve problems as you encounter them. Enjoy turning every stone!

- The last chapter hint: You will encounter a puzzle that you may not recognise or assume to be a puzzle since the UI is unclear about it. When in doubt, try moving your mouse or analog to see whether anything is highlighted. I got stuck at one point and had to go online to solve the mystery. It was unclear to me.

Overall, The Gap is one of the best games I've recently played. I completed it earlier today and found myself thinking about it and the finale several times already. You'd think it has extremely little replayability, but I tell you that as soon as you finish the game, you'll want to replay it!

Early Access Review
AAAAAAA... I can't find the right words to describe this game. I can tell you why I appreciate it, however! I joined the Sky Kids in December, at my lowest moment. Sky was like a warm hug that lifted me and made me feel better, more hopeful, and capable of moving forward. Why you ask? My mother was diagnosed with cancer and was not doing well [#GoStrongMum<3].

I felt alone. People in my life couldn't console me. None of them were trying, and if they were, they were failing badly. Sky spirits, music, strangers' honks, and meeting new people—some like-minded, others not—all made it easier. I needed a connection. Sky, however, is more than just that. It is also a fantastic game to unwind with. You can help new or random gamers, go on a candle run, enjoy one of the many musical instruments, and [if using words overwhelm you], you can still engage with other players indirectly through candle/boat messages, memories, honks or emotes. 

This does not cover Sky's real story/journey. I left that out because it is best to discover it on your own. My advice? Do not rush to finish the game. Take your time through the realms. When you relive a memory, try to understand it. You will only experience these recollections once [for the first time]. Stay safe and welcome to Sky! :)

Such a fun relaxing game. The art is beautiful and there is a community tab where you can make your own "Find me" puzzle. I wish more people will realise and use that to create more.

It is free. It is a prologue! You have an hour to spare? Try it and see!
I enjoyed it and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the main game :)

Do you have anxiety?
Are you suffering from insomnia now?
Do you have feelings that you can't process now and are looking for an escape?

Look no more. This tiny game provides it all. Cats, purrs [when clicking hint], cheerful music and repetition. You will finish this game in an hour [acheivement wise], but you will find yourself invested in clicking those cats that you wouldn't care and continue to play anyway. Dare I say, it is the perfect loop of pictures [at least for my AuADHD brain]. I highly recommend it.

Many will pick and drop this game, thinking it is about transitioning, but it is not. It is about people .. but most importantly, mothers. It is about your relationship with your mother and the concept of a mother's love. You may believe you understand what I mean when I say that, but you do not.

The characters in this game are all well thought out and written. They have so many details that you can't help but form an opinion about them. You will find yourself loving them at times and then not as the events change. Just like in real life, we are all living our own little stories in our corner of the world, and so were this lady and her twins. If you could look past the idea of transitioning, you will find a story that will sometimes move you to tears. 


At the end of the day, we are all human, and we are all united in our yearning for our mother's unconditional love.

What an outstanding game. It doesn't shy on details and creativity. I just wish there were more books to explore. I would be satisfied by 10 or 15 books. How about a dlc? We can't leave this story with this ending and with many things left unanswered or unexplored. Please give us more!

I love this game. I though dislike how short the experience felt. It finished too soon. Maybe they will come with a dlc or a second game? I would love that! We don't get enough games from the old days! This game was a breathe of fresh air.
