    Even if the game’s final moments lacked the emotional wallop, South Of The Circle’s story, presentation, and visual direction hit every mark for me with the biggest surprise being the nuance and the way it handled its themes.

I did not find any obvious problems with the game, it was pleasant to play. This game can be called a movie with a running time of 3-4 hours.
