Kalaroni rated Even in Arcadia

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

I have never felt in my life the way this game made me feel. I genuinely  cared about these characters. I love stage performances  and i didn't expect this one to translate as one SO WELL!   I first started up the game not really expecting anything , just  going through  games i got in a  bundle.  But it FLOORED me.  I don't think   ANY other medium could accomplish  what this game did. I'm not an intellectual ,  I often have difficulty and cant keep up with the flow of people. So I've learned to save myself  embarrassment by   being neither seen or heard. I simply listen. I listen to everyone and everything , so that's just what I began doing in this game. I listened  to (read) the dialogue  and was  surprised when i saw them walk off. I  followed and i began to realize  that it was LOOPING!  Parts of the  story i thought id missed i could go back and explore! by the time id pieced  it together, i felt  sad... Sad for some of the characters but so happy that they ever had such a  deep friendship.  It gave the loop right after realizing what happened such a melancholy  feel. like you were floating through ghosts. They don't know  , but you've seen it over and  over... Just the coolest game of all time. I played this a year ago and i still think about it whenever someone talks about how immersive another games story is.  And i  always kick myself when i don't recommend it because i feel the concept would be hard for some  people to grasp or pay attention to. And i hate that. Because if only i did my part you could make  another really cool game and blow everyone away!!!!  Also, also, I got into the secret room!!!  I cant remember what you had put in there, not that id spoil it. Anyway, your story really connected with me. Please make another, and have a good day! -  With love, Kala
