I played it at a friends house, have no plans on replaying it, yet went ahead and paid for it to support what the devs have done here.
   
   If you're a fan of Blendo games (Gravity Bone, Thirty Flights of Loving, Quadrilateral Cowboy), but also like the thoughtfulness and drama of The Chinese Room (Dear Esther, Everybodys Gone to The Rapture) than you will love this game.
   
   Don't listen to people complaining about the game length, they really need to understand game development more. No good film or piece of music begins by setting out how long it will be. Gamers need to start thinking quality, not quantity. The two hours it takes to complete is paced perfectly, had it lasted much longer than attention would start to fade.
   
   Since there's a demo available, I'll just end off with a comment on the music. The score is fantastic, unbelievably high levels of production value, and is a step in the right direction for the industry. Play with headphones! The sountrack adds a lot of emotion, and I don't see that as a bad thing at all. You must experience it.… Expand

   Virginia recalls the great Telltale Games but in other graphics. It needs no language and also works thus 1A.

   Music: the best part of the game (although that's not saying much given there's not much to rave about in general). it has an interesting soundtrack composed
   Gameplay: horrible... it's just constantly moving around and pressing X to interact with a few things before moving onto the next chapter. very boring and repetitive.
   Story: it seems like one of those projects where the creators want you to think for yourself, but it's executed horribly. there's no dialogue and you can't really engage with the story much. so i feel that was a big failure with the game.
   
   overall do I recommend it? No, no I do not. I did get this for £2 or lower, so not really anything lost. I also got a platinum trophy out of it. But for anyone else, i wouldn't recommend it. spend that money on a snack or something.… Expand

You can't affect whats happening at all, you basically just click and walk your way through cut-scenes of a movie with below par graphics. I was very disappointed and even bored at times. Not worth the time or money. The plot would call for a decent movie though.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not going to rip on this for being "not a game" like so many others are doing. I'm going to rip on this because it's nonsense pretending to be a deep story. I can't stand things like this. A compelling mystery gives you hints throughout and then neatly wraps up at least some, if not all, of these clues. What a compelling mystery does NOT do is hand you some bullcrap symbolism that never gets explained in the slightest and then dumps a bunch of new information on you at the very end that doesn't seem to relate at all to the rest of the story and then ends the whole thing with "Surprise! Aliens did it." It honestly feels like this game took a massive dump on my free time and then expected me to thank them for it. Really not a fan at all.… Expand

   Totally pointless, bad graphics, boring and confusing story. Can’t get it how this game rates so high?!
