    The story ok, to forget about next day. Not the game I want to spend to much time playing it .
    Graphics style is tiring.
    Maybe is hard to enjoy it when most EU languages are NOT supported.
    It also does not support Ukrainian, but it does the language of bandit, terrorist Russia.
    That's a bit off-putting.

    he game has a nice art style and a good artistic presentation The voice acting is good as well. Unfortunately the gameplay is almost non-existent, in some instances the game plays itself. The story is well presented but filled with a ton of 1960s cliches. And the game is not subtle about it either. It reemphasizes the same points all over again, without providing a balanced view on certainhe game has a nice art style and a good artistic presentation The voice acting is good as well.

This is unfortunate because the game has a good start, but looses it with its plot fast. I sadly cannot recommend… Expand

    South of the Circle tells a compelling story, and the minimalistic animated art style and excellent voice-acting make it an absorbing experience. It’s easy to recommend to anyone interested in experiencing a story with themes not usually touched on in games, but if you want a lot of gaming in your games you’ll probably want to pass on this one.

    South of the Circle is a fantastic story-rich game. Its core mechanics are touching, emotive, and laced with replay value. You'll admire the developers eye for detail and the wonderfully melancholy plot that unfolds.
