    The reviews made me think this game was going to be a lot more interesting than it was. It was kind of boring TBH. I didn’t like how I’d get stuck certain areas exploring. The dialog was eh. Didn’t seem like there was much of a point....

    So sad that this game is only 90 minutes. Definitely need to see more from these devs. Although it's short, the characters develope super obvious personalities that make it an immersive and memorable game. There's also a small option towards the end that gives you varying endings. Who doesn't love that?

    Wide Ocean, Big Jacket is a brief experience, perhaps 90 minutes including extra scenes recently added via patch, but it’s just the right length for delivering a richly-colored snapshot into the lives of its subjects, and as a memento of this brief camping trip where four people connect, it’s just perfect.

    It’s all pretty low stakes, and it’s extremely low stress. But that’s the point — it’s designed to be a relaxing game you can finish in a single sitting. It’s not about the change the world, but it should be enough to put a smile on your face…and yes, maybe just make you want to go camping.

    Wide Ocean Big Jacket is a game about what happens in between the life-changing moments. About how everyday interactions and conversations are interesting in their own way. It’s a memorable experience built around relatable characters, fun dialogue, and clever gameplay moments.
