Sometimes there are days, you want to forget. Days, where everything went wrong. Days, that make you feel down. you can accept it ... or do something against it. I like to do the second option.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994907336 I personally think this is a nice re-creation of Bottle. Bear in mind this is a short story around (17 mins of gameplay with all achievements while taking my time taking screenshots) I do miss the nice and beautiful pinky skies of the original version though. Amazing music, beautiful scenery blue thumb up!

neutral · AI labelView post →I've always been an avid fan of Tonguc Bodur's walking sims. I have fond memories of the Drizzlepath and the Nephise series that are perhaps his best works. Lately, I have had the opportunity to play some of his shorter sims such as Loverowind or the phile series. Then I found Education an interesting step towards the horror genre and I took note of what a convoluted mess Lucid Cycle was. With Bottle I am happy to confirm he has returned to his roots. Once again this is a great walking sim…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bottle is an update on one of Tonguc Bodur's earlier games. It is extremely short (20-30 mins), so there is no save function. I would describe this as a meditative walking simulator. You listen to a woman reflecting on her marriage and what could have been. The excellent narrator tells the story in poetry and the prose is easy to understand. Walking through snow covered terrain and majestic scenery enhances the sadness that the narrator is feeling. The wintry landscape of her marriage has…

neutral · AI labelView post →Even though the scenery at times is very nice, this game is just a walking simulator with poems to break up the long winded walk. Do not recommend, it's better to go outside and put on an audio book.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relax & Beautiful game ♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eeh. The environment feels pretty dead. all grass and trees all the same little bendy motion. Once you see it you can't unsee it. Environment doesn't seem to interact with you, walking in grass, bushes have no motion of your presence, rabbits you see don't run away or care about you standing on them, least the deer ran away. 'you play as an alcoholic man' I only got that sense at the start with the poring of liquid and seeing wine in the building. There's no other enforcement to that idea only…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The people who voted positive for this game need to be studied by scientists. This is not a well-made game. The scenery looks outdated. How was this made in 2023? Looks like a game made in 2010. Games like Dear Esther from 2012 did it much better. This is a poor attempt at a walking simulator.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →15 minutes of walking through an asset flipped winterscape while listening to corny poems about divorce and alcoholism wasn't really my cup of tea, but I guess you get what you paid for
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/knEF9CLV5yk https://rumble.com/v2m6edg-bottle-gameplay-atmospheric-walking-sim-ending.html I probably should've started by reading the game's description on Steam so that I won't ask myself so many questions lol. This is a short walking sim, with a sad story, nice graphics and atmosphere. Also, the poems in this game made me a little bit sad. It also seems that I didn't get the last achievement 'finished the game'. Did I close the game too early? :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game decent visuals, when they say it's short and sweet they really mean it. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the game and that's with 100% achievements,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those games that you play to take a short break from the tasks and stress of your everyday life. The stories remind one of the difficulties that others live through, and I can feel the pain of the characters as I wander about. This game is like a walk outside in the snow, and I can almost feel the crispness of the cold, fresh air in my lungs.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I rate this remake of Bottle (the original is called “Bottle” and the remake is also called “Bottle”) : 3/5. OK (and it is a great improvement over the original). I barely recommend this amazingly short game. This Bottle remake is a very short, highly linear, quiet and somber, first-person perspective walking simulator. Unlike the first version however, this version of Bottle has a far more definite story about, apparently, someone who is struggling to stop being an alcoholic as he wanders…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An awesome 20 minute experience. Would recommend it to any poetry lover.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd rather say it should be called a Half of Glass for I was drinking home brew and had drank it on the half way when credits rolled. Well, jokes aside. Bottle is a little, but not that bad tale about drinking, regret and atonement and visuals and tempo of gameplay are well designed and while it is not straightly a remake for that old Bottle (2016) it did have a lot of connections on Bottle: Pilgrim and the way it was presented was a cherry on a cake. I recommend to buy with Bottle Pilgrim…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played most of this developers games and I must say they are really beautiful and relaxing and bottle is no exception. My only issue with this walking simulator is that it is a really short game. I would recommend to buy this game on a sale, as it is too short to warrant the full price. It is still worth the play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good things about this game: price (I bought for $1), no collectibles to make me spend more time playing this game, rebindable controls, and toggle run. Bad things about this game: sappy music, the evergreen tree assets used were very cheap-looking, the movement speed was glacial even while running with the speed boosts (literally, at one point I was running and my copilot said, "I think you're walking and need to turn toggle run back on," i.e. they were convinced that the run speed was the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really a game you "play" but rather a walking experience. Beautiful graphics, ambient sounds and piano music, plus the female narration (of the poems you encounter while walking) is lovely. Evocative, in a way, of my favorite game, "Eastshade". I felt like I was in an as yet unexplored portion of that world which made my heart sing. I enjoyed every bit of this.

neutral · AI labelView post →Bottle, developed and published by Tonguç Bodur, is a quiet and reflective walking simulator that invites players into an intimate exploration of loneliness, memory, and emotional healing. It is not a game in the conventional sense—there are no enemies, objectives, or branching choices—but rather an atmospheric journey through a desolate winter landscape that mirrors the protagonist’s inner turmoil. At its core, Bottle is about stillness and contemplation, a short narrative experience designed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a nice 1/2 hour chill. Wizz through a landscape and listen to poetry.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful landscape to spend time in, take screenshots and spend time in. The game itself is short, the poems are ok although a bit distracting, the last cut-scene gave me goose-bumps. Nice music too! Spent an enjoyable hour in the game and it made me think a bit about the protagonist who made choices they did. No complaints. Would have loved to be able to interact some more with the surroundings. I'll check out the second part too! :-) 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bottle is a brilliant walking simulator. Bottle can be a metaphor for many things but in this case, we refer to it as the bottle of which contains alcohol. Travel through the wintry expanse as you uncover what led to one of the most sad things that can happen in a person's life, divorce. The scenery is beautiful, taking place in a mountain range full to the brim with snow and icy features, it really fits the game well. The game is for just about everyone, you don't even have to play games.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this style of game because its short and different for those times I may just have a little time to play a game. I play through these games several times and never seem to get tired of them. I like the ending in this one, the piano music and the beautiful scenery. If you want to walk fast using a xbox controller just press the cap lock on your keyboard first.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just saw, purchased, downloaded, and played the lasted game from my favorite Developer/Publisher Tongue Bodur. The name of the game is Bottle. It is short. It is about an alcoholic's journey after divorce. Very strong message. As usual for me, the graphics, message, voice acting by Susannah Louis was all outstanding. I was disappointed in this game being so short, but anything from this Publisher is, to me platinum.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an excellent remake of the original Bottle. Bottle has a beautiful world with immersive atmosphere and narrative that tugs at the heart of the human condition. The narration is also excellent. It's Tonguç Bodur at his best.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is what it says on the tin. It was more of a running simulator as far as I was concerned haha. Solid for the price tag. Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/rqXf2GEYBCk
