THE LONGING Reviews

Every so often a game comes along that is so audacious it reminds me how conventional and pedestrian many of the games that I’ve reviewed — and liked — are by comparison. This level of creativity reinvigorates my expectation of what games can be.

Washington Post

The Longing uses isolation, open space and freedom of choice to send players on a year-long exploration of loneliness, identity and meaning in real time. It won’t be to everybody’s taste, but those who commit to seeing it through will find a surprising, poignant and rewarding experience unlike anything else out there.

Adventure Gamers

The real magic of THE LONGING of course, was never the puzzle-solving, the exploration, the plot, and the multiple (yes, multiple) endings. This is all about getting immersed into the experience, becoming one with the Shade, and feeling its loneliness, boredom, but also its intrigued mind. This is a game that plays with your psyche; your inner thoughts, and your imagination – and it’s really good at that, to be honest, not to mention that the hand-painted, German fairytale-like visuals look great, and the music and sound are top-notch.
