I've originally played with the Source version, so I was a bit afraid that I had to buy the Unity version of it, as I wasn't a fan of Unity back then. Since then I have seen a few very well optimized games on that engine, and changed my mind.
This is one of those. On my IPS panel monitor, the graphics of it became even more vivid and colourful, the last map when we emerge from the cave out in to the moonlight is like a dream. I want to see this in VR once.
The game is a walking simulator, with voiceovers, and an underlying story. I love this genre, the first game that ever was in this genre, was Dreamworks' SW's Trespasser. And I loved to explore every inch/cm of the island in that game. So as here. Seeing visual stories around us, and hearing as the story unfold before us by the narrator, is calming, relaxing.
If you are on of those who don't have the patient to sit through a long (15+ minutes ) intro, I can't recommend this game to you.
If you are interested in the story, and don't mind to put the story together like a puzzle, than it is for you.
This is a highly recommended game - and yes, it is a game - for anyone who loves good storytelling.
And it's replayable, as you will probably continously changing your mind on what really happened.

While I find the game somewhat interesting and beautiful, there are some issues with it. At least for me. The graphics are nice, I would even call it beautiful if it would let me turn on Anti-Aliasing and AF. As the engine and graphics itself isn't that demanding. The music is soothing, and nice to listen to, the sounds... Well they are that, bubble noises.
The gameplay... Well, that is my biggest issue. The game doesn't tell you what to do, and in the first few tries you can't be even sure if you are doing what the game wants you to. I personally don't like games that are handholding, and doesn't let you free. But I have found this too free for first. After understanding how things work, the first few levels you can "chainbubble" yourself through, but I can't finish the last level. It's disorienting, and the view distance is really poor.

Pros:
- Nice, colourful graphics, with low system req.,
- Soothing music.
- Cool atmosphere,
- Interesting game mechanics.
- Cheap.

Cons:
- Hard to figure it out,
- After that, the first few levels are too easy,
- The last few are too hard.
- The game is too short.

As I got the game for free, I don't want, and can't say bad things.
If you can get it on sales for a euro or less, and you want a soothing, chilling game that takes away a few minutes of your time, go for it. It's a charming little game, I like it. Recommended only if you aren't the nitpicking type.

One of my most favorite game of all time. It has a wormhole, "aliens", a new planet, hi-tech weapons, and gadgets. Great, uplifting music, superb story, great gameplay elements, and it has a beautiful graphics.
Don't be stuck up on the graphics being edgy, bricky. The games was originally made in 1999. And it has a voxel engine, meaning it isn't drawing triangles on the screen, but instead small cubes. This makes the game's mountains, snow, crystals and rocks and water simply beautiful. Don't get me started on the music, that was made by a real orchestra.

It's a really funny and chill game. The idea is good, and it's filled with british humour. It's a really good way to laugh yourself off.

Pros:
  • British humour
  • Funny
  • Entertaining
  • Chilling
  • Cheap

    Contras:
  • It's a bit short
  • Not enough characters in my opinion
  • Few stages

    I recommend this game to anyone who at least understands a bit of english, and love british humour.
