    Once Alive is a two-ish hour walking sim with a narratively rich story to tell. It might have some rough edges, but the love the developer put into it shines through. If you love games with a compelling story and atmosphere a-plenty, then pick this one up.

    Once Alive is a fantastic solo dev title that shouldn't be missed. The action is captivating and I loved the story. Moreover, it looks great. Yes, there are some minor graphical issues, but this didn't ruin my experience.
