    A game for fans of Unpacking and Gone Home, Simpler Times is a short but sweet narrative experience that tells the story of a young girl through items in her bedroom. We'd have liked more, but for the two hours it lasted, it kept us hooked thanks to intriguing puzzles and a great (if sparse) narrative.

    Sometimes you just need to slow down, and Simpler Times is a great game for that. It’s a vibe, a “stop and smell the roses experience”. Some may be disappointed in a lack of gameplay depth, but those who want a game resembling a break will be pleasantly surprised.

    Simpler Times from developer stoneskip. is a short narrative with simple interactive moments holding up a melancholy adventure. The value of the game comes with the translated experience where the gameplay can mean different things to different gamers with varying perspectives from where they might be in their life. Its interpretive structure makes the gameplay and story far more meaningful than the minutes it takes to complete it all.
