Someday You'll Return: Director's Cut Reviews

4/10

The story pulls you in

- Tells a crying girl he's done with her, throwing her doll to her feet - She runs away - "Hey, wait! I'm sorry!" *chasing scene erupts* - Fade to night after climbing a rock within a second without explanation Well, yeah, that was strange. But so were many other things in this game. Yet, overall, I really enjoyed it, especially the first half, which was more of a nice hiking adventure, with some actual touristy insights. The woods are dense and look stunning. The interiors do too. You really cranked the max out of UE4. Amazing. The puzzles were a bit obscure, and sometimes it was quite impossible to progress without a guide. But after one learns how this game (or rather the clock, eh?) ticks, it gets easier. Herbalism was nice, but it fell a bit flat. So did the antagonist(s). And the endings. They left the player a bit dry. Except for the "leave" ending. Loved that one. Sound a bit harsh overall, but no, let me say this was a great game, and I'm confused why it is so obscure. I only stumbled upon it through youtube.

Nice game, i thought there will be Czech language, when i saw the locations and Fabia with czech license plate, but no:(

I enjoyed the game from start to finish. Story is decent. Will recommend.

Well, this was a pleasant surprise. I expected a walking sim (which it is). for some reason I always buy these and end up regretting it, but this one was actually pretty good. Length of the game for me was about 15 hours, there are some minor technical issues arising perhaps from insufficient beta testing, but nothing deal breaking. Atmosphere is good there are some game mechanics like climbing and elixir mixing which is nice addition to the gameplay. Horror is good easy on the jump scare and story is also great bit overemotional, but all and all well-balanced game plus it is first game which I finished in 2025 which have to account for something.

Honestly the deepest, the greatest and the most interesting story I ve ever seen in any game, with a beautiful atmosphere of horror and also from the best country on earth. So I applaud the devs.

I was having a great time following the story. Environment is GORGEOUS, the game looks and sounds incredible. Why 'not recommended' then? Well, I don't think I'll be able to finish it, the stealth sessions are just stupid, boring and unforgiving. The sooner developers will remove them from their adventure games, the better.

The game is tediously clunky, both menu controls and for puzzle mechanics. The game writing is frustrating; I hope the MC is such a butt on purpose but I fear it doesn't feel that way. So many plot points hinge on the main character doing things that he has every reason in-canon to not do. The crafting and herbalism mechanics are so in-depth when they don't need to be -- it distracts from the horror. The level design is, on a micro level, in an unacceptable state; some walkable paths and interactive elements are not well marked, thus bringing gameplay to a standstill. Sadly, this game is a bust even on sale.
