    A truly unique game. I had played it because it was free on PS Plus. I enjoyed every bit of it. And this is coming from a person that doesn't really play these sorts of indie like, short games. It is a simple plot with many moments that are truly magnificent and awe inspiring. I had to think some things twice to realise their greatness.

    A deep emotional interactive story packed full with sadness. We definitely need more serious stories in video games like this.

    8分，流程太短了，虽然是独立游戏但是也过于太短，还没有很多手游流程长，2小时就可以结束整个故事。如果每个故事都可以像Molly和Babara的故事那样丰富饱满就好了。
    游戏感觉更像一本家族史名著的极简版，每个章节介绍家里的一个人。
    喜欢游戏里的字幕，有一定的引导性，如果中文字体再特别一点就更好了。互动效果挺好的，会有真的在翻书开门的感觉，如果有更多物品可以互动就好了。 总体感觉这个游戏更像一个半成品，除了部分故事比较饱满，很多部分都点到为止。    8分，流程太短了，虽然是独立游戏但是也过于太短，还没有很多手游流程长，2小时就可以结束整个故事。如果每个故事都可以像Molly和Babara的故事那样丰富饱满就好了。

    Morale della favola? Non mandare a letto senza cena i bambini, non viziarli e non illuderli, non mettere altalene in posti pericolosi, non andare a caccia di cervi, non lasciare i neonati a fare il bagnetto da soli, non avere una sega elettrica in casa, non lavorare in fabbriche di pesci in scatola... Insomma avere una vita sana e socialmente normale basta e avanza per non fare una brutta fine.

    Normally I couldn't care less about the story in a game, since most developers have NOTHING of interest to say. I don't want to hear your fauxlisophical nonsense from your zero life experience to draw from. I just want to play a game.

I heard it was 3 hours long and people I trust on YouTube and whatnot said it was worth it. Like most, I picked it up with my PS+ and played it. It was a great story, actually brought tears to my eyes. I like depressing things, seek them out in movies. If it ends in a tragedy, I'm a happy customer.

    The only thing I can knock this game for, is the controls. While minimal, I'm not a huge fan of "simulating" actions. I want a button to turn the page, I don't want to move the joystick to the right and then left to simulate the action. Swinging on the swings is fine. But I was having issue turning the page, since I'd go too fast and it would fall back down, accidently added too much upward push on the joystick. It was annoying. Other than that, everything else was spot on. I thought it dealt with mental disorders in a neat and non-patronising way and also simulated them well enough in the framework of the narrative. Especially that one part where you have to do two very different actions at once. HIGHLY recommend it. It's one of those that you can show to non-gamers and they'd get something out of it, if the subject matter suits them.    … Expand

    Haven't had a game's story grip me like this in a while. The premise is so unique and amazing and the the heartbreaking stories unfold in some of the most creative ways I've ever seen in a video game. It's really short and there's not much gameplay as you're more of a passenger through the game; but it'll stick with you after playing it.

O melhor jogo desse gênero de exploração e mistério, possui uma variedade de cenários, cenas e jogabilidades únicas para cada ocasião onde nos mostra a história dos personagens da casa. O que mais me chocou foi a do menino que queria virar astronauta, onde ele se balança num balanço a ponto de ser lançado para o mar e morrer, onde nós na jogatina, estamos na visão em primeira pessoa do menino, para dar uma imersão e sentir o que ele sentiu antes de morrer. O maior e único defeito desse jogo, é o tempo, parece que passa muito rápido, poderiam ter aumentado o tamanho do jogo, dando mais espaço para personagens que foram apresentados na história, mas não tiveram seu "tempo de tela"!… Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10) Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    This game revolves you digging into a family’s past, filled with death. Each story of a family member is unique, moving and immersive. I’ve replayed this game quite a few times throughout the years since its release. There is very little gameplay so if you just want to watch it instead, go right ahead. Just don’t pass up on the story and please support the game by still buying it.    … Expand

    Explorando a casa e adentrando os comodos, que são elaborados labirintos criados por seus avô, você vai aos poucos conhecendo pouco a pouco sobre as historias e o fim que cada familiar teve em sua vida.
    Apesar de tratar de assuntos morbidos como mortes muitas vezes trágicas, o jogo trata isso através de minigames de uma maneira ludica, intuitiva, bela e quase infantil transformando a mecanica simples do jogo em uma forma unica de contar a história.
    O que torna um assunto pesado sendo contado de fundo uma forma gostosa de ser experienciado.
    Esse é mais um daqueles jogos que conta uma boa história inserindo o jogador dentro dela através da interatividade.
    Algo que só games podem fazer. Ele entra em mais um daqueles games como Gris, Undertale, Nier, Hellblade, The Witness, The Talos Principle e o que joguei recentemente Outer Wilds.
    Jogos que te colocam não como um player mas como alguem que está inserido na historia. Que ta fazem sentir e se emocionar.
    É até injusto chama-lo de um jogo, seria muito mais parecido com um livro interativo daqueles da decada de 90 (inclusive referenciado dentro do game).
    Uma bela história contada em apenas 2 horinhas de gameplay!    … Expand
