May 23, 2018Quarantine Circular is another brilliantly written game that will have you taking up different mind sets to get through it. It is at times charming, upsetting and inspiring and will have you playing it through to it's conclusion in one sitting without you realising.

Sep 10, 2018It is a beautifully crafted game and, at $5.99 USD (current $4.79 to celebrate its release), is well worth every cent. It presents a compelling scenario for thought, infectious to the last moment.

May 25, 2018There are a few issues like the disconnect between the player and the characters or the omission of any challenge, but the story and the way it is told is done exceptionally well. Quarantine Circular is worth every minute of your time.

May 29, 2018Quarantine Circular is a mostly well-written sci-fi tale that doesn't succumb to tired tropes or obvious plot contrivances to draw you in. Instead it uses its limited working space to deliver a captivating tale about human nature and our theoretical place within the universe.

Jun 27, 2020Text speed is too slow. Interesting premise but not as good as subsurface puzzle or story wise. I got a bad ending for two minor choices
