Ratings and reviews

Calling this a "game" seems like a disservice to what it really is. This is a beautiful interactive story about life and death that explores the nuances of the characters and their past and present interactions. It's wonderfully interwoven with poignancy, love and loss. It's a metaphor for life delivered in a palatable package of fantastic scenery and intriguing design. Additionally, the soundtrack is phenomenal. It truly is a masterpiece of an Indie game. Well done.

Great game, just watch out for some of the bugs. Avoid loading earlier saves, because you might accidentally overwrite your current save and lose your progress. This was seriously review-bombed by people who don't think Netflix should be publishing games. If you don't play it, why review it? You would be no better off if Netflix never made the choice to dabble in mobile games. You lose nothing from this.

I got to play this game for maybe 30 minutes, and I loved what I've seen! BUT like many other reviews I've read, I've had serious problems with the app crashing! I closed out of it for 5 minutes or less and came back to it totally unresponsive, not letting me move around, not seeming to register any interaction before finally closing itself out. When I attempted to reopen it I got the Netflix loading screen and nothing else before it closed out repeatedly. I feel like I've tried everything
