This game is about meaning.

An utterly intriguing narrative permeates this sci-fi puzzle game, which touches upon the existential questions that an AI mind faces. Taking place in a dark and decaying world, a mechanized combat suit AI faces a trial of obstacles in its objective to ensure the survival of its human pilot. It faces an environment relinquished of care, a system of rules at odds with its own, and a hostile robot that lurks in the shadows.

This is an indie game that shines in its art, with very few rough spots. The controls are simple, though a little tricky to use in one place. The puzzles are solid, though perhaps a little stiff and unaccommodating to the unperceptive eye. The character performances are excellent, yet highly functional.

Do play this game.

You would regret to not have played this game in your life, if only you knew what playing it would have brought you. Like a dream, not that you end up never fulfilling, but one that you never even dreamt.

This is also what this game is about. How can you fulfill a dream now that you approach the end of life, when all your choices have already been made?

Would your final choice really be to not pick up this game and just give up your dream?

Even one as remote as going to the moon?

An excellent, high-concept game with solid performances from a stellar cast.

The game is incomplete and apparently abandoned.

This is hard to stop playing!

A quality production that respects the source material.

Video games are art when they're made by the French.

This was an incredibly good game as an interactive piece of art!

The gameplay is also fun and casual, but by the end, I felt a deep and lingering sense of attachment to the ball, the whale and the setting - despite the lack of dialogue or any obvious displays of narrative. It may be the fact that the ball had no way to communicate and no one to communicate with, and must therefore keep the experience of its journey internalized throughout the game, that you feel for it more: the silent protagonist. But this feeling may depend on the sensitivity of the player.

Another point of praise goes to the soundtrack, which was beautiful, relaxing and fitting to the game.

Technically, the game was sound, with some areas left for improvement. The camera reaction to world collisions can be jarring, and coupled with the strong motion blur used by the game, may cause a few people eye strain or motion sickness. Loading models sometimes caused momentary pauses in the middle of gameplay; and jumps in model level-of-detail are sometimes incongruent.

Overall, I recommend you in buying this game. :)
