Forget what the others say ;) This work of art is truly amazing, while defiantly not a game; it is totally worth the price!
We also have clinical depression and anxiety, so our answers tended to reflect that, but we enjoyed the outcome. We felt it was beautiful and fitting. Thats just us, but we wanted to add that for anyone that was worried about downloading this. Its definitely not the happiest experience, but we cried and felt less alone afterwards.
This is definitely not a game. Its a story, and an incredible one at that. When we finally reach the end we were deeply moved. Not all stories are in books or movies. Some stories are far from lawyers.
Enjoyed the story line and lessons within.
What a wonderful experience, very deep and thoughtful, we only wish it would last longer, but that is a non issue. Buy this game and reward yourself… Memorable for sure …
Love this game! Been playing it on and off throughout the pandemic, okay mostly not playing it, though we have a game on our phone and another on our iPad for the subtle differences. Its a great distraction and we feel a little bit better after 15 minutes or so.
First off, this really isnt a game. Its even less interactive than so-called walking sims. You have dialogue choices and thats it. But thats really not what this experience is about. If you want gameplay youre in the wrong place, and it irks us so many people have slammed this game for being boring. IT IS NOT A GAME. How did anyone spend money on this without realizing what they were getting into?! To those folks, its your own fault for not being more discerning. This is a story. A slow and thoughtful one that requires patience. At times it is even quite funny. But it can also be emotionally crushing. If you are willing to immerse yourself in the experience and take the story at its own pace, you will discover something moving, wonderful, intense, sad, and thought-provoking. We’ve rarely in our life has such a strong emotional reaction to a piece of media as we did to this. Absolutely 100% recommended for anyone interested in a bittersweet story about ones own meaning and place in the world.
Got free therapy from a deer who cured our depression. Thanks.
We would have given this 5 stars, except for one major issue we have with it. We originally watched a play through of this game, and loved it so much that we decided to buy it for myself when Im feeling anxious and depressed. It is very relaxing and emotional and the artwork is beautiful. Vague spoilers ahead The one issue we have with it is if you give negative answers too much, it seems like the game gives up on you and you get a really depressing ending. As someone with depression, it was kind of shocking to us since we had just been honest with our answers, and it felt like the game was trying to tell us that we were beyond helping or saving. Vague spoilers end So we do not recommend this game if you have clinical depression. It might end up making you feel worse.
We are unable to adjust any of the settings. We have no sound, very sluggish reading, and nothing that really holds our interest. How do we add the music etc?
We love the game, but it literally makes our phone overheat after only playing for 10 minutes.
We usually love narrative games, but this was like listening to a long monologue about existence from someone who loves the sound of their own voice with no opportunity to contribute to the narrative. The protagonist dialog choices were all throw-away lines, so the point really does seem to be to read someone else’s stream of consciousness writing. And after half an hour of playing it, we don’t feel like anything developed or moved forward. It gets two stars for being really pretty, and for being a neat idea that was just poorly executed in our opinion.
Kind of hard to be a philosophical masterpiece when the game forces you into the perspective of a stereotypical white girl who pretty much repeats the same three phrases, OH MY GOD, You could get us a latte, and Im doomed, its over for us just written differently. About halfway through we couldnt force myself to play because the protagonists lines were too uninteresting and though there are many choices the deer will nod them off by saying perhaps and then saying whatever he was going on about anyway. Not worth three bucks, really missed the shot at being deep and meaningful.
It felt very boring and depressing. A waste of money.
All we can say is this was a total waste of time and money. Worst game ever. Like pulling teeth. So slow our anxiety level was rising instead of falling. Deleted it off our device before we could even finish the game. Ugh.
Not much of a story. If you like a lot of pseudo-philosophical interactions, think Star Wars Jedi type stuff, then this is the app for you. Many adventure story apps use visual and written media to tell a story and allow the user to interact. This doesnt. Single scene. Rudimentary graphics. Dialog balloons. No real advancement of a story. Same ocean background sound the whole time too. Really not much here. Too bad because the description makes it seem like it will be thought provoking and interesting. It is neither. It also is a major battery drain for some reason. It pulls current like no other app we have seen. And it isnt even a fast action game with physics. Severely overpriced for what it is.
This app heated our iPhone 8 Plus like it was a skillet on Sunday morning! Too afraid to play with it any more. What a waste!
First things first, this is not a game. It makes you think and interpret life, so don’t spend the money if you were looking for younger kids. By the message it conveys is so beautiful. We were in tears by the end because we could relate to it so much. Highly recommend and is definitely worth the money.
We absolutely recommend this… We hesitate to even call it a game. The scenery and dialogue is incredible. The meaning of life and living in solitude is explored. It covers so many ideas be it existentialism or transcendentalism. We hope if Im ever on tightrope we could have that sort of content and thought.
Not so much a game as interactive art / storytelling, which we found emotionally deep and rewarding. We highly recommended the experience. Don’t come into it with any particular expectations, and you will come away happy.
If youre looking for a game, this is not it. We found it heated our phone as someone else commented, and the interaction is minimal, and we would guess that there are not multiple endings to be had as there are in choices games. But this is not a game. In our experience playing through, this wasnt the point. We found the whole experience to be profoundly allegorical. We found metaphor after metaphor in the discussion between the driver and his environment. Im sure we missed some as the authors have shown admirable restraint from making every sentiment explicit. While we wouldnt call the characters complex, the ideas and perspectives were often immediately relatable. The characters are clearly not the point, but rather the story they act in and the existence they discuss. The narrative also forced some perspectives that initially felt more alien (irrational fears of material creatures primarily) but was able to bring things back to this space of relevance without fail. This is a well tailored piece of art that very successfully resonated with our philosophical side. We feel no need to immediately replay it, but we are very much looking forward to discovering how we relate to the journey a year or so from now when it crosses our mind to rediscover it. To the developers: thank you for a wonderful experience. We wish we could articulate our thoughts and feelings as well as you have in this piece of art.
The whole experience dismantles and then rebuilds your entire view of life. At a point in life where we care about nothing, it taught us that "nothing" is everything. Sick game.
A meditative and philosophical delight.
Highly recommend this gorgeous, immersive game! Nothing like it!
This type of game might not be for everyone, but for people that appreciate the real thought beauty and time put in to this game its incredible. We will never forget the message we got from this game, if you dont mind a more slow paced experience that has you more of a spectator we would by all means recommend this game. We would love to see more stuff like this in the future.
This is truly a work of art. We downloaded this game because of the cool art style, talking deer, and mention of a subject Im learning in school- transcendentalism. We couldnt have asked for a better game. Again, this game is a work of art.
We did not read the reviews for this game, we did not even read the description really. It was recommended on our game page and on sale so we purchased it. It is one of the most memorial games we’ve played to date. We were very, very surprised by the ending.
This game is making us tear up as we write this. We love this game and we highly recommend this. We love it.
What an experience. This game (if you can even call it that), is an experience that forces you to think about life. It makes you connect your emotions to the characters it introduces to you, and when its over youre left thinking. We wish it was longer, but Far From Noise will always hold a sentimental place in our heart.
This experience transforms your mental state to a place of peace and enlightenment!
This game is a work of art. It fills you with tons of emotions.. And makes you wonder what life REALLY is! The story is priceless, the conversations are poetic, and when it all ends, you feel sad that it’s over. We couldn’t put down our iPad for an hour! We still feel dazzled over it all. We honestly don’t know if we should be happy.. Or sad! Anyways.. We should stop writing down a bunch of junk and just say, this game is great and we HIGHLY recommend you play it.
What a wonderful and interactive way to bring calm and sense of self to ones own self than with this App! We gotta say that the version for iPad Pro 2nd Gen and the iPhone X do the graphics and sounds the proper device to optimally use the App! Worth the small cost!
We love the art style of this game, and we were really submerged in the game, we played for about an hour and a half and didnt even realize. We also like the fact that it gives you different emotions every second of it, one moment its happy, another youre on the edge of your seat.. Or.. Cliff.. It was money well spent.
Really enjoy this but it has drained our iPod Touch battery twice and we still have not finished it once. Also gets incredibly hot. It will not even open on our iPad. Probably would give it five without the issues.
Im a big fan of games with narrative and choices but this lacked so much. It was BORING, and this is coming from someone who really enjoys philosophy. It was predictable, and the choices didnt really change much of the outcome. We just kept playing waiting for the narrative to get better, it didnt. Save your 3 bucks.
Tries a bit too hard to be profound but misses the mark about 60% of the time. Not a bad game. Not worth the 30 mins it takes to play nor worth starting again to see a different outcome if there is one. They may be onto something and a longer but more interactive or involved game would help a lot.
Nothing like paying $2.99 f or a LONG drawn out strange experience. Only interaction is touching a bubble response that may or may not be what your feeling. Its boring, so boring…. The screen stays the same a rarely changes! We never got to the turtle as the other player experienced, but from his review seems we didnt miss much more than wishing we could get our money back and the 20 min of our life back! Dont waste your money!
We get it, IT doesnt go anywhere. You are as stuck as the schmuck in the car while your phone heats up. Realizations when facing death. Hardly.
First and foremost, this is a promising experience (Youd be hard-pressed to call this a game) – but a couple of fundamental issues exist that prevent us from enjoying the narrative. These are as follows: 1) On our iPhone SE, playing for any length of time makes our phone REALLY hot, for a game that demands time and patience to experience, this is a bit of a deal breaker. Turning on low graphics in the options menu helps this slightly. 2) In the scene with the frog and the turtle, we can tell (from the dialogue) that the turtle is supposed to take the frog on a taxi ride; however in our version the pair just sit statically, doing nothing, while the dialogue ticks on. Hmm. At point 2 we turned the game off since we then couldnt be sure if we were missing anything or not. A shame, because this entirely ruined the pace and experience of the journey. We would definitely want to finish the game, but with some animations or sequences clearly not working – we cant see the reason to bother. In conclusion, this is a beautiful and novel (no pun intended) idea, but one that needs to work smoothly to be articulated properly – which was not the case for us. In such a carefully executed app, any break in the narrative utterly damages the experience. Its a shame, because we are at a point in our life not unlike the woman in the game, on a precipice between life and death. We were hoping this game would provide some context, or comfort – but it was unable to.
It’s really pretty, and the sound is awesome… But the story is painfully slow. 20 minutes in and we’re just wondering what button we have to push to toss the car in the water. No character has been developed, no plot moved forward.
Could be good if it didnt go so freaking slow… Yawn, we want something to be happening here along with the positivity.
