« Comme "The Stanley Parable", c'est un anti-jeu qui se joue... de vous, et une bonne surprise au final. »👍 anonymous review · 0 h played« On retrouve bien la pate de Stanley Parable, un petit jeu gratuit qui se finit très vite mais qui est très plaisant ! Ca donne envie de voir un jeu plus long avec le meme thème : les coulisses d'un jeu vidéo. »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played« Un jeu du même calibre que "The Stanley Parable", en cependant plus expéditif et moins de rejouabilité.

« This narrative game is a waste of time, you would just replay it for it's succes, life time of less than 2 hours even for all succeses. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« Coincé un quart d'heure avec un jeu souffrant d'un sévère trouble de déficit de l'attention. Rien d'amusant, rien d'attachant. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Ce jeu est déséspérément court et pas très fun :/ Ce jeu reste comme même bien mais je suis légèrement déçu »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« To get achievements, you have to find objects in very dark areas... you can not increase brightness, I can not be bothered playing this. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« This game is so unfair, many of the achievements can't be triggered. Listen, dev, if you hate Steam hunter players who are hunting for achievements, at least don't bother making broken achievements! »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« + Bon humour + Gratuit et court - N'apporte pas grand chose de nouveau comparé à Stanley Parable 7/10 Pourquoi pas? »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played
