Defective Holiday Reviews

Immersive, unsettling & nostalgic thanks Kim, soundtrack bangs thanks Mechatok, wish my I could play w my integrated GPU :'(

Absolutely stunning. Perfect soundtrack. Outstanding vibes. Ridiculous graphics. A sweet dream that you should have.

The music paired with the unique visual elements compliment each other well for a short ominous story love2 see it. Ty Kim & Mechatok

I downvote this game because they made it F2P although i paid real money for this game. Why sell a game and make it F2P, your just ripping off honest people. Other then that nice graphics and tech demo.. If you see i dont have a key for a game it means i paid for it. :-(

if u have some spare time and extra money check it out ost is made by mechatok and its a really good visual experiment with really well made models and overall atmosphere but its just a 40 minute long walking simulator. tho im not sure if im happy with the purchase to be honestly. any game developer would have posted this online for free :/

This is an interactive art experience, unlike most games you would see on Steam. I would describe it as the mix between a David Lynch movie and Young Lean making video games. It's surreal, dark and playful. A big theme in the game is the blurring of reality, of memory and logic. As the player, you are slowly becoming mad, descending in weird symbolic world. Everything about a nightmarish holiday, and subconscious subplots. There's also a very playful mixing of interactive, pre-rendered and live footage. I'd watch/play this as a mix of a movie/magazine/walking simulator experience. I really enjoyed it and recommend it for contemporary/digital art enthusiasts.

I love Kim Laughton's music artwork and this gave me a chance to feel like I was living within it for just a little bit. Really nicely put together.

This is essentially a 3D Modeller's portfolio piece... the models are detailed and gorgeously rendered, with some genuinely interesting graphical effects and scene transitions. There is a story in the vaguest sense and some scenes veer towards thought provoking, but by and large, I found very little substance here. Apologies, I can't in good conscience recommend this as a game... there is zero interactivity, beyond moving and looking around with the mouse. Each scene passes, some where you can walk around in them, some where you are stationary and can only look about you, and some that are essentially animated wallpapers. If you enjoy walking through largely static scenes, that's all there is to it... as I entered one scene, I briefly stopped playing without pausing, and as I turned back to the game, the scene transitioned to the next... it seems it doesn't even need you to move or look around and is merely on a timer before the next one loads. Some very nice things to look at, it might work well as a VR experience, but unfortunately not for me. Solid 3D though.

Big fan of Kim Laughton's stuff and Mechatok, I can not stop thinking about this world. Its nice to walk inside Kim's work and experience the details and style up close. You'll quickly fall in love with Mechatok's music as it connects you to this world. Look forward to more from all involved.
