TL;DR see all other thumbs down reviews for this game as i have the same issues. save yourself $10 and a good chunk of your time not so much a game as an exercise in WASDing over and over through the same paths for 4 hours... only to come into holo-sim conversations where the dialogue choices don't seem to matter and so the supposedly intimate / "deep" / emotional topics lack nuance and depth because none of the …

You wake up in doomed space colony as the only person alive. With the help of an A.I and four holograms of former colony members you gather resources and information to get back to earth. This is a bittersweet heartfelt story of human nature as we piece together went wrong and individual emotions thorough the holo chamber, the A.I and finding notes as we explore the abandoned colonies. The dialogue is very well …

I loved this game. As the story unfolds, as you look for a solution for the dire situation you found yourself in, you grow in a routine, a mission a day. There is nothing really challenging gameplay wise but the good writing, the awesome musical score and the peculiar graphical style all cast a spell on me. It soon became the go to experience in many nice evenings.

Alone With You, developed and published by BancyCo, is a quietly powerful narrative adventure that trades mechanical complexity for emotional depth and atmosphere. Set on a remote space colony on the brink of destruction, the game places you in the role of its last surviving human inhabitant, tasked with escaping before the planet collapses entirely. It’s a premise that could easily lean into urgency and spectacle, …

Players who liked Alone With You talk about beautiful pixel graphics and atmosphere; those who didn't talk about gameplay can be repetitive and slow. Which matters more to you?

We've made indie games for 11+ years & now have a growing team. For some reason PlayStation really likes us. Home, Alone With You, Worse Than Death... and soon, Game #4.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wanted to like this game, I really did. The art is beautiful, between that and the sound design I was drawn in from the first few seconds. And the subtitle "A Sci-Fi Romance Adventure" intrigued me. But as far as I can tell after playing the first few missions, the title is a misnomer. There's no romance to be found, as far as I can tell, and if there's any at all it's only the most superficial "gamified" type of romance. My first few interactions with the holo-people left me completely…

With the help of an AI partner, you are tasked to find out how are you going to escape out of this settlement. The “you” in Alone with you is the computer partner who also generates various holograms of the crew members who died in the disaster by calculating the data stored in the settlement…

neutral · AI labelView post →Getting through Alone With You was a real slog. Apparently i sunk 4 hours into it and that was at least 3 too many. I'm not sure why i bought this game, i guess i thought the graphics look cool - and they do look cool - but everything else is tedious as hell. Story starts out, you are the only survivor left in a space colony after a disaster. It's hardly imaginative, but fine - we know from games like Tacoma that you can still tell a good story in that stock setting. The problem is that all of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alone with You: The Sucking I'm not sure if this even qualifies as a "game". There is no actual "gaming" to it. You just read text, go to places, and press your only option, the space key. You have a lot of dialog choices between "yes", "no", "maybe" and "hmmmm". Yay. There are no solvable puzzles, and the story seems weak. Also: repetitive and mind-numbing. This is more of a clickable story than a game. Just know what you're getting into. And $10 is totally overpriced.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a little bit surreal that the #PS4 is 10 years old. I got to play the console early at a Toronto event called Gamercamp. Thanks to meeting PlayStation reps there, I became a PS4 and Vita developer, and pitched our 2nd game, Alone With You (which they partially funded). It was a wild year. 🙂
neutral · AI labelView post →I must say that I did enjoy the game and wanted very much to complete it as quickly as possible. The game play becomes a bit tedious and repetitive. The story is great and rather enthralling at times. There is a simulation experience that is pretty cool and almost "out of body" within the game. Personally, I enjoyed Home much better. But this was a fun game all in all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There’s a lot to love about Alone With You. You play as the lone survivor in a doomed terraforming colony, you’re only hope of escape is fixing up an escape ship before the planet’s tumultuous weather destroys everything around you. Unfortunately, both you and your AI companion lack the knowledge to perform such a repair. Fortunately, your AI companion has a data store which contains the memories and personalities of 4 colonists who were all indirectly working on solutions to your very problem.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Alone With You developed by Benjamin Rivers Inc. is a sci-fi romance adventure game that definitely plays the part. (In this game, pixel graphics set the art style along with incorporating this title in the indie genre.) Classic pixelated graphics aside, this space adventure aims on telling a deeper story and explore the introspective qualities of people ins space and maybe more simply—human beings in general. The story follow the only living survivor of a terraforming mission consisting of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My impression is, its a good concept and execution. It is an adventure game with puzzle that you have to solve. The puzzles are pretty logical. There were instances where i had go back and forth but nothing too hard. Essentially you are together with an AI that will help you escaping a planet that is doomed. Doing so, will confront you with what went wrong and see the story unfold. There are some decisions to make and they may play a role in the outcome. Overall its actually a real fun game.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Pixels, puzzles, and point & click vibes - its a game / choose your own adventure style novel. I really enjoyed it - I enjoyed the conversations with the AI and sim characters, the quests, choosing a path and experiencing the story unfold. I've had one play through and may play again for some different endings eventually. The only thing I'd change is to be able to pick up the story from different save points, which would make replaying the game much more of an enticing prospect

neutral · AI labelView post →I really liked this game! A full playthrough takes about 4 hours. It's one of the narrative-heavy types of adventures where you alternate between exploring areas, then interacting with NPCs, repeat, to uncover the full story of the present's past. - It is very pretty and I appreciate the color scheme. - The soundtrack has some good mood music to it. - The storytelling is extremely linear. - Choices don't really matter. - The exploration parts are well designed so that you aren't running in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is deep and the gameplay is easy. If you want to read a visual novel, but still have a point and click adventure feeling, this is the game for you. It has some puzzle elements to work your brain a little bit, but >95% of the game is just visual novel+point and click Con: the gameplay can feel slow and repetitive in some portions of the game. Especially, if you do multiple additional runs. (The first run is still lovely, since the repetition helps in familiarizing yourself with the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alone With You is a nice little game (well, I say little but I think one playthrough is about 7 hours long) with beautiful pixel graphics and a nice atmosphere. I enjoyed my time exploring the world and its characters. I think that it could be a bit less linear though, in terms of the choices affecting character conversations and since there is multiple endings I don't think the replay value has enough to it (especially since it auto-saves and you start all over from the begining after the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to play this game, as the description suggested that it matched what I like: space colony, disaster looming, conversations with AI, romance, visual novels - all up my alley. However, after 2 hours of gameplay and 4 missions complete I can only say that it didn't live up to expectations at all. - The dialogue choices are basic and don't add anything to your personality, and it seems the characters will just keep on talking about their failures in life regardless of your reaction.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It would be hard to recommend this game more than I already do. The story is great (if a bit dark), the characters are great / well filled out, and overall you can just tell that the developers were putting everything they had into this game. The story develops through your investigation of the various areas on the map. That involves searching for various materials, which adds to the world-building, and looking into the backgrounds/relationships of the characters. It goes really in-depth with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This story has an interesting twist. And I loved it. I was a bit put off by the pixel graphics, but it really seems that they are a thing again for some reason. TBH they are not terrible, i just dont understand the nostalgic need to go back to that past graphics wise, especially since most of the buyers on Steam these days are not old enough to actually have played any games on 8 bit game consoles. Still the story is excellent writting wise, and interactive enough to be considered a game.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game. Cute, weird, and unique. The pixelated graphics are cool too. The game was longer than I expected, which is good. I did think the "romance" aspect of the game was a little lacking. The dialogue and characters seemed stiff. All the cues for emotions were there in the dialogue, but I just didn't feel it. Wasn't quite convincing. That said, I didn't really mind. Still loved it. Looking at all the achievements I didn't acquire, I'm surprised. It seems there are quite a few…

There are a couple of puzzles, but the game is mostly straightforward... explore an area, scan everything, and then talk to a hologram of the person who worked in that building. Not related to anything but I honestly thought the main character was some kind of advanced robot because of their character/wardrobe design. Would’ve made for an…

The artwork is incredible--it truly spares no expense in creating the atmosphere. As far as the story, its compelling, heartbreaking, lonely, lovely, and filled with excitement. I love action games but games like this remind me that as a medium, gaming can express philosophical ideas, play with types of story telling, and make the world around come alive.

Its visuals, the story, everything feels really unique, all that background that is offered to you from the past to help you deal with the problematics of the present, that is not weak at all. Everything is really enriching to the game as a whole, the simplicity of the controls arcade-ish like, all that reading because well is a visual novel and you must imerse your self as a player with every single word of it, that's the purpose of the game.
