I’m really enjoying this game. The narrative is clearly the heart of it, and everything (the mood, atmosphere, sound design, exploration, and puzzles) feels like it’s there to support the story. The puzzles are simple, but they work to keep the focus on the plot. I’m a bit more than 2 hours in, but the thriller vibe and the characters’ deep, emotional backstories are really pulling me in.

In Recall: Empty Wishes you play through 5 "levels" reliving the memories of certain characters. The story was well put together and the attention to detail was fantastic, if you pay attention you might be able to uncover the secrets before they get revealed! The dialogue for the characters was great, each character felt distinct and believable! The game is a psychological horror so it's more on the eerie side. The …

The experience I had playing this game was nothing short of incredible! From the start I was drawn in by its gorgeous visual style: Both the pixel work and hand drawn art are gorgeous and really make the game stand out :D Very soon I was drawn in by the mystery of the introduction and eager to learn what's happening! By the end of the game I was moved to tears. Throughout the game is an incredible soundtrack that …

I really loved this game. As far as gameplay and ambiance, the art, sound design, and exploration-based gameplay make for an unsettling experience that feels so much like stepping into a horror story. But where it really shone for me is in the story. There are a couple endings, so how you feel about the game will depend on how deep you delve, but there's a really stunning story here about grief, love, friendship, …

But the main thing is It has that classic thing: an office chair with one fucked wheel, so when you roll it it kinda pivots extra much around that wheel. On the physics asset, the wheels are all capsules except that one's a cube

Recall elections are common protections, and candidates usually do not need to be approved by the communist party to be elected. This has varied throughout history, but in any case you are deeply misinformed, this isn't simple disagreement.

But I really enjoyed this psychological thriller. It took me around 3 hours and 30 minutes to finish the game without skipping conversations and explore everything. Depends on your play style it could take from 3 to 4 hours. This is my full no-commentary walkthrough. Recall - Empty Wishes Psychological Thriller | Full Game | Walkthrough Gameplay…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Received a key to demo this game. Just from the description and appearance I thought it looked like a type of game I'd enjoy, and I was definitely right. Very rich with character development, it's a very emotional trip through the psyche of people and their insecurities. The puzzles and clues were well thought out without being overly easy or difficult. This game definitely dedicated itself to the "psychological" aspect of psychological horror. Some additional pluses for me was being able to…

This game is actually pretty good. It not only keeps you interested, it's also a pretty enjoyable thriller/horror. Well... It's mostly creepy versus disturbing horror. (Don't take it from me though, check the images first if you'd like). The story... I liked the supernatural elements and I still have to figure out the mystery sheets and yet... Somehow the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good psychological horror game for those wanting to dip their toes in the genre. The art was very beautiful, and the characters were all unique. I was a bit confused at times, but given that there are multiple endings, I'm sure my other playthroughs are going to fill in the gaps I missed. Overall, I had a nice experience playing it!

The story is told through multiple characters and their perspectives which adds quite a bit of depth to each character. I feel like some dialogues could have been a bit more fleshed out since sometimes characters change their opinions rather quickly within just a few seconds. English translation was pretty good, despite the wording sounding a bit off here and there. In terms of gameplay, it's mostly a walking simulator with…

It feels well thought out, like the devs knew exactly what they wanted to make. Visually it’s nice too. Clean UI, solid pixel art, and nothing felt off in the animations or style. Even the gore, while not really my thing, fits what the game is going for. Would I play it again? Maybe, but not anytime soon. More like something I’d revisit in a couple of years. As for the price,…

As a fan of psychological horror games, I enjoyed it, but I don't feel compelled to find all the secrets and 100% it. If I hadn't gotten stuck at one part for a while and hadn't been idling at one point, I'd estimate my completion time to be around 3.5hrs, and I'm a fast reader. Pros: Pretty good story. Interesting characters. I found all of them pretty compelling, even if one of them had an unfinished (imo) character arc, so each chapter kept…

My only regret is that some details of the story are vague. I wish the characters and the plot had been more fleshed out to make for a well-rounded conclusion, but it's still a nice story. Be aware that there are 2 endings and a secret 3rd ending/extra scene!
