There is so much I could say about this game. It's beautifully done for starters. It touches on a lot of extremely serious issues, some subtly, some much less so. All of them done with wit and charm one has come to expect from the genius of Cael, Elliot and the Hidden Track team. This game will put you through every emotion imaginable. I laughed, I cried, I felt afraid and everything in between. The art style was simplistic, yet unique and beautiful. Once again, to be expected as a Hidden Track project. The sounds were spot on. And DO NOT get me started on the plot twists. I genuinely did not see them coming. It was so easy to lose myself in the worlds they created. And the characters... There were a couple I will love forever, and a couple I will loathe forever, yet another feeling not oft invoked in me. Honestly, I could go on and on, but you’re probably tired of my rambling praise at this point. Needless to say, though I was cautiously optimistic when they gave it to me to try, I fell hard and fast and will be purchasing copies for friends as soon as I’m able. 10 of 10 a must play.

Understanding that a theatre company made this game during lockdown is going to be very helpful to note while playing this game. Although gameplay is a little on the light side (no complaints from me), it's participatory in a way that reminds me of stage theatre -- I legitimately feel like I went to a play. This is an insanely novel game from this perspective and nothing like I've ever seen before. It's so cheap too, so don't pass this one up if you like revolutionary ideas!

Incredibly funny, and then actually really emotional in places.
I absolutely loved this game. The characters are great, it's really funny and interesting seeing what suggestions people have given, and while the game uses more player suggestions that I was expecting, it still managed to keep some order in the chaos to deliver great characters and a really satisfying narrative.

I finished the main story in around 3 hours, but then kept replaying to see different pathways and unlock achievements/bonus scenes.

If you like puns and self-aware meta jokes, you will definitely love this game.

10/10.

https://i0.wp.com/hiddentrack.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ParadiseMountain5.jpg?ssl=1 In March 2020, Hidden Track were an interactive theatre company, creating work for live audiences that allowed them to break the rules of theatre. Then COVID hit. And all of the theatres closed. So we decided to see how we could break the rules of video gaming. In the summer of 2020, we asked our players what the rules of our game should be, how we should break them, and if they could imagine a game that everyone could win. We were given hundreds of suggestions and ideas, and we put the best ones to a public vote. Whatever they decided, WHATEVER it was, that was the world we made next. In 2021, we collected all of those ideas, give our story some reworking and polish, and put it out to you again. We've absolutely loved all of the ideas you've sent it, and the comments we've got from everyone. Now our story is over. Hidden Track are returning to the world of theatre, to meet people in the flesh again. Now that our project is over, we have decided to make it available to everyone... COMPLETELY FOR FREE. No catch, no sneaky microtransactions. We just want to share our story to everyone. Thanks so much to everyone who's supported us along the way. Now please, go tell your friends! Show them the world we made together! https://i0.wp.com/hiddentrack.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Cha_TinaA_HAPPY.png?w=320&ssl=1
