    Sagebrush is a short and sorta sweet game, but it might prove to be a tad bit too short for some, and the story isself is nothing mindblowing. However, for the low asking price, I don't believe that these 2 detriments are severe enough to deter you from trying this game out. Sure, it's not gonna win any beauty contests, but again, for the price of entry, this game isn't going for AAASagebrush is a short and sorta sweet game, but it might prove to be a tad bit too short for some, and the story isself is nothing mindblowing. However, for the low asking price, I don't believe that these 2 detriments are severe enough to deter you from trying this game out. Sure, it's not gonna win any beauty contests, but again, for the price of entry, this game isn't going for AAA looks, nor was it intended to so so. If looking into this game, or interested in it, the Nintendo Switch game page for it does a decent job of conveying the whole premise and the major points of it. Please ignore the user contributed score of 0, as such a thing is completely asinine. I assure you that this game does not deserve a 0. Almost no game, no matter how bad, could really deserve a 0. My goodness. Anyway, for further reference or details,please make sure to read proper reviews of this game as can easily be found further on Metacritic. My review is not one to go into much depth, but to merely impart to the readerthat this game is worth playing for it's asking price, so long as you don't expect your mind to be blown by an amazing story, or to be looking at some stellar graphics. Thank you for your time, and happy gaming :)… Expand

    A walking simulator with some point-and-click elements thrown in. Essentially this comes down to whether you find the story compelling (I didn't) and like the look of it; the 32-bit graphics weren't attractive to me, and in fact find that they actually hinder the gameplay elements that are there.

    Sagebrush is a title with a very attractive story that stands out in all its sections. If you like titles that create a good atmosphere from beginning to end, even if it lasts only a few hours, do not hesitate to play this game.

    Sagebrush pulls you into the life of a cult by forcing you to follow the story of someone who survived one. Perfect Heaven – and its impact on its members – feels organic and like cults that have lived in times before it. Its pixelated animation style gives you the feeling that you’re exploring the ruins of someone’s memory and the tragedy that followed.

    Sagebrush is a short narrative-driven experience that uses storytelling to great effect. Set on the site of a horrific mass suicide, players learn the story of the Perfect Heaven cult’s rise and demise at the hands of founder Father James.
