Hi, I know this game, have for awhile, and I got it on my phone to actually play it for myself. Come to fine out I can’t give the bun to the guard to initiate the next part of the game in chapter one. I do see some of gotten pass though, not sure how, but that chapter four had problems with filling a water bucket from other reviews. If you want the game I’d wait for an update that fixes that or get it on a different platform because it is a good game, it’s just not figured out on mobile yet.

I’m don’t game a lot but this has me hooked and needing more. The structure of the game is a mix of devices that always keeps things interesting. There’s story, mini games to progress through the larger story, puzzles, moon logic, world exploration, and a lot meeting different people and creatures. You play as the character of Fran Bow, an 11 year old girl whose parents were murdered and who is trying to find her cat and the truth about what has happened to her. In order to progress she must play with the folds of reality and time which takes her to many different world. The atmosphere is macabre and beautiful. There’s also an underlying story of journeying through mental health and facing your fears and the ugliness that you may feel is inside you. I’ve just barely finished the game and I feel like I’ve gone on my own personal journey of healing from playing it. Some other takeaways: -If you’re feeling stuck, brush your hair and drink some water -Spines are a thing all humans have in common I’ll definitely be seeking out some more games by Kill Monday. ❤️

I enjoyed this game. A hint system would’ve been nice, I feel like I bumbled around a lot trying to figure out what to do next. I had to use on-line walk throughs on quite a few occasions to go further in the game. If you like this, I’d suggest Silent Age and Midnight Girl.
