    The sole point of the game is to watch/recover the lost memories of a woman with dementia, and the game really took me by surprise and really hit me on the feelings... and maybe that's why I took the time to platinum this game.

    The major down point of the game is the technical issues it has - quite a few bugs, some loss of textures, fps drops and some problems with loading..

    One more time! This is a SLOW game and it has no action or shooting in it.. but it's a great narrative oriented game with a serious subject that can really grab anyone by surprise.    … Expand

    ETHER One is a very story based game and so there's a lot of dialogue in this along with its excellent atmosphere. Although if you aren't into games with puzzles then you probably won't enjoy this game. Also if a game gets a 0 because there is no option to invert the Y-axis then you don't know actual games that deserve a 0 like E.T

    No, you can't invert the y-axis. No, it isn't super-fast paced with constant action. Is it that hard to appreciate the game for what it is and where it came from? For what it is (part of that being that it is free right now), it is an experience unlike most that are being released right now.

    Un juego hermoso! Con puzles desafiantes y una historia bastante original el cual te va introduciendo más y más en las historias que vas descubriendo a medida que vas resolviendo los puzles los cuales están entrelazados a cada historia, conociendo así de manera más profunda lo sucedido.

    Although I enjoyed Ether One, the game is based entirely on exploration, and unraveling the story is key to its appreciation. Players who don't have the patience for this sort of slow-burn adventure might find that things are fairly incomprehensible if they don't take the time to do some of the non-essential puzzles. However, those who find the idea of a casual stroll through someone's mind would do well to check this one out.

    From a narrative standpoint, we loved this game, but its technical problems kinda ruin the experience. Truly a pity, considering its brilliant and versatile gameplay that can adapt to many types of players.

    A beautifully judged, moving tale with puzzles cleverly entrenched in the story's take on mental illness. [July 2015, p.93]
