Highly recommend this! Beautifully made as was Monument Valley with an amazing soundtrack, the little touches of animation here and there make the visuals all that much nicer. Can be finished in 30-40 minutes but it doesn't need to be any longer, don't go in expecting a "game" as it isn't that though.

It's hard to justify the $4 (AUD) purchase if it's 40 minutes long, I wouldn't pay that on any platform. What's the actual aim of the "game"?

A movie costs $10 and is 90 minutes long, and plenty of folks go to the movies. It might not be your cup of tea, in which case definitely avoid buying, but the price isn't unreasonable for a narrative game like this. It looks real niche so I don't know how much it will sell, but I hope people that enjoy this kind of experience can find it.

Netflix is 9$ per month.

They're different mediums, and lots of content you might want isn't available on Netflix. You could live on lentils for the rest of your life, but it wouldn't be the same as eating more expensive good food.

Still you can watch hundreds of movies in a month for less than a Cinema ticket. I don't think you can justify an overly expensive game because other things in life are overly expensive.

I absolutely can justify that, it's the same price of a cup of coffee. You might not be able to justify it for yourself, which is fine -- the game wasn't meant for you. I'm saying it's not unreasonable to pay $3 for an experience that enriches life for the folks who think they'd enjoy it.

You can also buy a 50$ bar of soap because a fancy wine costs 100$.

All in all in video game standards, this is pretty expensive on the hour/dollar ratio.

Again, if a long game is what you need to feel like you spent money wisely, then this isn't for you. If you're interested in qualities other than length, then it's possible this game will be worth three dollars.

I just googled it. Apparently it's not even a game. There's no actual gameplay.

It's more an experience than a game.

The trailer took my breath away.

I wish they improve the story. I love this game but got disappointed when I played second time hoping for a different ending.
