I very rarely give negative reviews for games on steam, especially indie games. But this game just so aggressively wastes your time with uninteresting tasks at every opportunity that I feel there needs to be some representation of that perspective in the reviews. There's good stuff here, but I feel like it's largely ruined by certain design choices. Anyway, here's my review. A Space for the Unbound absolutely …

Don't let the beautiful pixel art and cozy vibes fool you. This game is an emotional wrecking ball. I went in expecting a cute supernatural story and came out needing a hug and a new pack of tissues. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

💖✨ A Space for the Unbound - A Journey of Narrative Excellence ✨💖 "A space for the Unbound" is easily one of the best narrative-driven games, I've ever experienced and will stay with me, to the day I depart this world, rent free.

The storyline is absolute peak, and the music is incridible. As an Indonesian, seeing all the 90's details felt nostalgic. However, the puzzle felt a bit mid. The final boss fight felt repetitive because it reiled too heavy on QTE. Instead of challenging or stategic combat. That being said, it's hard to not to play through this game at least twice, you'll find yourself driven to reach the true ending, despite the …

First, I have to say that I love the story of this game. What surprised me the most is how every character feels like they have their own story to tell. Through Atma's unique ability to enter people's minds, the game allows you to discover their hidden worries, memories, and personal struggles. The gameplay is also very creative, combining exploring the town, solving puzzles, playing mini-games, helping its …

Reviewers also praised the soundtrack's variety of genres, which include lo-fi music and keroncong, a traditional Indonesian folk music genre.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Space for the Unbound is a great reminder that graphics don’t have to be realistic to make a game feel beautiful. Its pixel-art style may look simple at first, but it gives the world so much personality and emotion. What really makes this game stand out is its story. The characters feel human, the relationships feel genuine, and the way it deals with emotions, friendship, and personal struggles really stayed with me. It takes its time telling the story, but that makes the emotional moments…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I knew this was going to be good going in, but I did not expect to get as emotional as I did at the end of the story. Truly hit a few cords I was not prepared for and I'm proud to admit I cried quite a lot. The gameplay is fairly simple, just basic puzzles and "get this to bring to that" tasks, but that's not really what you're here for. You're here for beautiful pixel art, moving pieces of music (with way more vocal tracks than I was expecting), and a touching story about love and loss. I…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is a heart-felt, emotional and atmospheric story. To understand the story, throw logic out the window. You are working with delusions and daydreams. Made by Indonesian Indie developers, so far this is their largest and most successful product. I've played Mojiken's other games and praised the art while pointing out the short story. This game too, is fairly short, which actually is good! It doesn't overstay it's welcome. (ignore my hours, I left PC running as is damn traditional…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really disappointed in this game after reading all these rave reviews on steam :( This game consists of: -20% interesting story and good gameplay bits -80% tedious fetch quests, inside fetch quests, inside fetch quests... Let me give you an example. At some point in game, you get a quest to buy a cake. So you go to the other side of town to the cafe. Once you're there you get a fetch quest to find ingredients for the cake. While looking for ingredients... (you guessed it!) you get a new…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wasn't expecting to dislike this game, but after completing it it ultimately left me feeling kind of disappointed. I'm a sucker for these story games so I was excited to play it and for most of the game it was fun like I had hoped. The plot was pretty interesting and kept me guessing. The best way I can describe how the quests usually go is to say it's just like MLP:FIM 4x18 . You need to get somewhere? You have to get something for that. You want that something? You need to go…

There is quite a bit of running back and forth for fetch tasks and some gameplay elements can be a little repetitive near the end but the story is worth it. Plus lots of cats to pet.
