60 of 118 · most liked firstIreland has long marketed its empty uplands like the Gap of Dunloe as 'wild and romantic' places. But the game is up. Ever more people realise there's nothing at all either 'wild' nor 'romantic' about these sheep-shagged wastelands, and want the REAL thing. #Rewilding 🌍
unlabelledView post →Hello everyone! I'm a 3D and environment artist, currently working on an unannounced project. Last year, we've released our first game called The Gap, but you may also know me from Counter-Strike maps.
unlabelledView post →The Gap is a walking simulator / puzzle game where you explore an apartment and various other rooms clicking on items to collect memories. Certain times as you click on items you will be transported to another reality where you are in a small area and have to solve a small puzzle, such as crack a password to a phone or computer. As you collect all your memories, eventually you will solve and crack the main password to your computer and find out the ultimate secret to your existance. The game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seeing that the reviews are 100% positive at the time of writing this review, I feel I had to type the first negative review. Not even to complain about the quality of the product, since it's incredibly well made, but as a warning for those who like to be informed about the risks of picking up a game by reading negative reviews. The only reason why I would not recommend this game is completely subjective : if you really can't handle sad stories, avoid this game. Congrats to everyone who made…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first glance, this game seems to be another ‘I’ve lost my memory, walking sims.’ However, I found The Gap to be unique and quite well done, covering issues like dealing with illness, family, and a nice dip into neuroscience, quantum leaps and déjà vu. At first it was a little confusing as I kept getting dropped into different memories before I thought I had explored enough where I was at. But I relaxed and went with it and it was a fun ride and the pieces started making sense. There is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Gap is a story with 'Gift of the Magi' themes... a tale of love, loss, and the lengths to which we will go to 'manage' that which is beyond our control. It is a well crafted game with detailed artwork, quality voice acting, and a solid narrative. It explores some interesting ideas related to nanotechnology, which will certainly make you think. The game is broken into two distinct segments - the first is that of exploring the lives of 4 characters in 5 different time periods. You walk…

He's tirelessly, desperately working on The Cure, his mind on the verge of collapse. He's close. His wife and daughter have since left him, unable to cope with what he's become. They don't understand how close he knows he is. It'll make everything better; it has to. The Cure will make his family whole again. His life's work in neuroscience is the key, accessing his…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Every day, we hear and read many stories. Most of them we forget. The Gap is a story you'll never forget. It is wonderfully written, informative yet cryptic, hopeful yet ominous, and, despite its simplicity, incredibly detail-oriented. I don't want to spoil the game for you, but you're here to ask me if you should get this game, and I will do my best. - It occasionally delves into scientific and medical themes, providing light reading on the subject. This was a source of joy for me as a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Top notch mystery game with hard sci-fi and Black Mirror inspirations. The game gradually adds more layers of intrigue as you progress until you're at the edge of your seat wanting to find out more. I playtested The Gap while it was in beta and I'm happy to say that the final release improved on all fronts. It really is a standout experience with great production value for an indie title.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh, was it an adventure... The game is definitely more than it seems. At first you see a good looking walking simulator and expect for it to fill your evening - and yes, you will be right, it did fill my evening, but with a story that will keep me questioning reality for at least another week. It was a blast, slowly uncovering the mind of Joshua, when he was trying to piece his memory back together. In the time of games that use amnesia and other diseases affecting mind as a way of explaining…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not terribly long, but a good series of Inception-reminiscent mind-f#cks, w/ an excellent plot and voice actors. Pros: * Excellent use of the genre. * Excellently twisty plotlines. * Great vocal talent. * Decent puzzles. Cons: * Didn't clue you in that you can use multi-word passwords. (had to use a walkthru to clue me in :P ) Meh: * There's one achievement ("solve all puzzles right off the bat, w/o mistakes") which is reportedly impossible the 1st time thru, unless you use a walkthrough.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This totally went under my radar. Think of Ether One, Tacoma, Dear Esther more or less as gameplay. Wonderful narration and mysterious story, close to perfect voice acting, fresh visuals and good graphics. Interesting story. Attention to detail (handwriting, texts, items). Recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good but sad adventure walking sim, quite dialogue heavy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game. A little emotionally draining but in a good way. It hits on some notes that will resonate deeply with some people.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favourite games now. Shortly explained - emotional roller coaster. Otherwise well, i'd say its some sort of detective game with visual story, but instead of crime you research your own memory. I'd highly recommend you avoid any spoilers, since now knowing what to come is biggest part of game there. Sometimes it was so cozy and sometimes i was litreraly scared to proceed because i was speculating that i don't want to see what's to come. Puzzles are not the easiest, but if you explore…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Full gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G55MYejhIqY I have a mixed feeling about this game, not because it’s a bad game, because it could’ve been much better with improving some of the game elements. Overall I recommend this game if you like narrative walking sim games with some challenging puzzles, however I’d suggest to wait for sale since the game is pretty short for the price. Graphics and Visuals (4/5): Game visuals are solid, although it doesn’t push any boundaries, but it gets…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to this ever since I played the demo at Gamescom and it did not disappoint so far! It really had me doing some mental gymnastics between all the different memories.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazingly atmospheric world(s) with so much thought and work put into the details also, the whole game works flawlessly on proton if ya are linux/deck person.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i feel like this game is so underrated, its a walking sim w some really heavy elements but i feel like if you like games like Beyond Two Souls, Heavy Rain, or Detroit Become Human, then you'll appreciate this one
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a rare piece of science fiction where the human elements far outshine the sci-fi elements, and that is saying a lot, because the sci-fi parts of this game are extremely good. The nonlinear story that they tell here with very few characters is moving, beautiful and tragic. It made me think about the time that we have and it reminds us to not take anything for granted. My one major qualm was with the way that you navigate through the different memories. Maybe I missed a queue somewhere,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very dystopian. wish the game was longer, too short for my liking but not a bad game. liked the way sequences were laid out and the visuals were okay. the bright contrast between interactive items and normal items were cool and made sense with the themes. sweet details and the story was good, just also sad and too short. wish the possible endings were different/had more to them? i personally wasn't pleased with them but it made sense story wise so i can't complain much. don't like how the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Gap is a game that you will enjoy every minute of. The story is captivating and structured in such a way that all the secrets are revealed in a pace that keep you immersed. You can relate to well developed characters and their life chaning events. Premise for the game is also something that deserves a praise since it keeps your brain going. Visuals are top notch. Especially some really cool high-tech concept from the future that maybe we will see in our daily lifes sometime in the future. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great looking game where you have to recover your memories and discover what it's all about!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun story game by Slovenian devs! Piecing together the different timelines and speculating on what part of the narration is unrealiable was pretty satisfying. I could have done with a bit more flavor and spice in the characters and locations, some parts could be a bit snappier. Overall impressed, though!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I won't pretend that I understood everything or why there were such ending options, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I think you will too if you like psychological thrillers. The voice acting was great, and the gameplay was smooth. Most puzzles were easy, but I had too look up a few because they left me confused. It's a good game; I just wish it were more popular so that people could share theories about what actually happened at the end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought this game was fantastic. It reminded me a lot of The Signifier. I wish there were more of these smaller games dealing with bigger scientific issues. They also do a fantastic job of working in philosophical themes beyond the science. The major theme of The Gap is spending the time you have now with the people you love. Don't miss out on what's right in front of you. I was able to have a great discussion with one of the devs about this. As for improvements, I would like to see the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great story driven puzzler, with wonderful attention to detail. Enjoyed every minute.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what I have seen so far, I can describe it as a dreamy, clue-finding, sci-fi mystery drama with inception-style mechanics where you jump between fragmented memories and try to reconstruct your lost identity. It touches on some heavy themes such as mental illness and how it affects one's life and their family and friends. The game has nice aesthetic and I didn’t encounter any bugs, which is always a nice thing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: The Gap is close to greatness, but the way the plot is presented leaves a lot to be desired. It does have a good message and gameplay elements. PROS: ➕Good message - spending time with those you love ➕Interesting multiverse concept ➕Clever and subtle puzzles CONS: ➖Story is a bit far-fetched and the climax is not great ➖Voice acting doesn’t feel…. ”Natural” Content (Game world/Narrative) – [6/10] The game world is presented in a first-person view, in various…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so frigging bland, all of it: characters, locations, the story. For all pumpkin latte fans out there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice short game. Just keep in mind that this is story-oriented walking simulator and your experience will be great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and sweet, ran fine on linux, and premise is what it says on the tin.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gripping experience provoking many thoughts through the mix of sci-fi psychological adventure with VN elements, puzzles and immersive storytelling. Lot of reading requires focused and patient player though.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strange and tragic, kind of an interesting premise and world but I wasn't captured by the story front to back. The art, music and vibes are cool, and since its pretty short it doesn't overstay its welcome. I'm leaving it the thumbs up because it's really well polished and voice acted and wasn't just like a book or a corridor like walking sims can sometimes be reduced to. It's definitely original and I found it worthwhile, but I would recommend waiting for a sale if it does sound compelling to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice game that leaves us questioning the balance between work and family.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short game, though I thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough. I will go back for a 100% for sure. The themes this stories dives into are portrayed amazingly. I was very invested in the story, and enjoyed basically all the characters. Puzzle games normally don't draw me in, though this game felt short and sweet with it's puzzles. the computer passwords though.... Definitely recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a game!! Just.... go play it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very good game where you play a neurologist who is trying to hold his life together, while exploring his memories to find a cure for his wife's terminal disease. The gameplay, which involves searching through his memories, is very compelling. The graphics and soundtrack are well-done and the narration is excellent. This is a great game for people who enjoy strong narratives and an inherent puzzle.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Walking Simulator done right. Thank you Team for a great game and awesome response rate to all in community tabs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great little bite sized experience. It's only a couple hours long, but that's not a bad thing in my opinion. In a year that saw ginormous games like LoZ Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate 3 released, it's refreshing to play a small game that doesn't consume your whole life. The Gap crafts an interesting narrative around objects from a person's life that trigger interactive scenes when you interact with them. It has a pleasing aesthetic that feels futuristic and surreal. I definitely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good! Nice atmosphere/art, story, and controls. Zero bugs and performance was excellent on max settings.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great visuals and story. Recommended if you like sci fi and walking simulators with some puzzles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect combination of puzzle with crime twist and neurological connection. I really reccomend this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Very nice visuals. The story is quite interesting to follow along, and while some parts of it may have felt a bit confusing it was still way above average considering most walking sims. Overall a very solid and polished game and well worth its price if you like the genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyed playing this game recently, it played really smoothly for the most part and the story was interesting to try and follow and figure out all the puzzle pieces. If you're looking for a short-ish (it depends how long each clue takes you to solve) game to play that really gets your brain working but still has an interesting story behind it I would definitely recommend.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall this game is great! The concept behind it is really creative and this game is a full blown mystery that really grabbed my attention! I thoroughly enjoyed playing my first session of this title. If you like gameplay vids WITH COMMENTARY Feel free to check out my latest upload! Props to the dev team on this one!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing this back in beta, it's managed to blow me away even more the second time round! The interlinking sections of the story will boggle your mind and keep you searching for more. It's almost impossible to put down, and is a brilliant game to play through in one sitting. Visually the game looks fantastic, and has a nice blend of minimal mixed with intricate detailing. The game gives The Vanishing of Ethan Carter vibes, but this story is more complex and has incredible branching between…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very well crafted game with a compelling story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visuals are stunning! Smooth gameplay and an awesome mind blowing experience. The deeper you go the more layers the game builds up. Gets harder and harder to put the game down because of how immersive it is. I recommend this for all psychological game enthusiasts to try this out. Incredible production for an indie title.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was absolutely amazing, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/ofHy5Osynts Trying a bit too hard to be avant-garde comes at the cost of being able to communicate goals to the players and maintain the value of the video game medium.
