    It was very compelling story, not a lot of game play, basic choices. the art of it is very interesting some can like it more and some less, I think its really add to the general atmosphere of the story. but, for no doubt , the vocals and narration are exquisite.
    it only took me 4 hours to finish,
    without giving any spoilers, it was good experience as a whole.

    Masterpiece virtual experience. You just should treat it more like a movie, not a game, but definitely worth to try

    he game has a nice art style and a good artistic presentation The voice acting is good as well. Unfortunately the gameplay is almost non-existent, in some instances the game plays itself. The story is well presented but filled with a ton of 1960s cliches. And the game is not subtle about it either. It reemphasizes the same points all over again, without providing a balanced view on certainhe game has a nice art style and a good artistic presentation The voice acting is good as well.

This is unfortunate because the game has a good start, but looses it with its plot fast. I sadly cannot recommend… Expand

    South of the Circle is one of those games that you'll either love or hate. The great news is that is an Apple Arcade game, you can try it without spending extra money. And if you do, you won't regret it.

    What South of the Circle lacks in dynamic gameplay mechanics, it makes up for with a heartbreaking, heartwarming, thrilling, and terrifying story. It takes players on an emotional rollercoaster filled with unforgettable moments that tug at the player's heartstrings. For those looking to escape reality for a few hours, or for a few moments here and there, South of the Circle is an unbeatable narrative experience that's well worth the cost of an Apple Arcade subscription.

    South of the Circle masters the art of storytelling through videogames, presenting a deep and mature story using a perfect style, but you have to be aware that this is actually a novel with very limited interaction.
