    Continue?9876543210 is an interesting project that explores humanity with good atmosphere and narratives, but falls short when it comes to pure gameplay.

    Continue's commentary on mortality, existence, and what is truly important in our lives will persist long after you put the game away. It is a pity the actual game supporting this evaluation isn't as rich as the subject matter it addresses.

    Ultimately, it seems a bit unfair to give Continue? a score—it’s a game that can mean everything or nothing depending greatly on your worldly interpretation. Where games like Gone Home and Papers Please have a clear fundamental message tugging on your principles, Continue? is either answering life’s questions or presenting some you weren’t considering before—apparently while “late at night with a glass of wine or some weed.”

    Continue?9876543210 doesn't exist to entertain us, but to expose the author's conscience and invite us to a journey through his vision. As a work of art, some will probably love it; just don't expect to find too much of a “game” in it.

    Some will see Continue?9876543210 as a success, masterfully drawing sentiment from poignant (though sometimes clumsy) words, moodily lit pixels and brooding, bubbling music. Others will find a game with simplistic mechanics and frustrating repetition. In truth, both sides have a point.

    The action side of things is weak but as an interactive meditation on mortality and predestination this is an impressively thought-provoking indie experiment.

    A grandiloquent exercise in treading conceptual water. One of the finer examples of what can go wrong when a game swallows too much of its own guff, there's nowhere near enough depth evident to justify its insufferable trumpet blowing.

Was pulled in by the trailer and concept was turned away by everything else.… Full Review »

    At the end the hero accepts his mortality and I think this is one of the most intense moments I spent in a video game    … Full Review »
