Re-view: The Overview Effect

A short story about connection.

Follow the moments of two astronauts - Lan (Lani) and Dee (De) as they experience a Geostorm while in space. With no comms or other crew members, they only have each other for company. Not everything is as it seems.


Gameplay

Re-view is mainly story-driven, click through the dialogue and interactive scenes to see what's in store for Lan & Dee. There is also a small mini-game where you sort a lab sample to the right transport to get to the next part of the story.


Controls

Interact/Continue - Left click
If the game freezes at any point - you can press esc to skip to the next scene.

I really enjoyed this game sm! The visuals were STUNNING! I love the low-poly look for the duo in space and the linework that accompanies the spaceship on the inside. I think the gameplay was rlly clever too! I wish this game was longer so I could keep playing
