Hindsight Game

This is not a game, this is ‘Photo Roman’ or ‘Photo Story’. Not bad but not a game.

People pay a lot of money to therapists to find their memories, but memories aren’t found, memories evolve with your life experiences. Hindsight is a simple visual puzzle of accompanying another down that path. It’s also gorgeous and accompanied by pleasant music. I enjoyed the experience. You might too.

I love Annapurna’s games, which is why I bought this one, but an hour in and I just don’t see that it’s a game. It’s a sort of graphic story, it’s engaging and well done, but there is no skill or choice or thinking or mystery. I probably would have bought it anyway to support the publisher of the fabulous Gorogoa and Donut County. But still, it’s not a game.

Beautiful, heart wrenching story of grief and growing up. I sobbed.
