  Embracelet offers a rich storyline with interesting characters that really pull you in. This game can be described as simple, but the array of depths and choices it comes with can greatly influence how the story will turn out for you.

  Often while playing Embracelet I felt frustrated. But whenever I took a step away from it, the lilting piano theme and big, beautiful countryside of Slepp found a way to creep back into my mind to draw me back to it. Now, after completing it, I ultimately look back fondly on the experience as a whole, mostly due to its cohesive style and storytelling, while the significant issues of actually playing it feel like a distant memory.

  An intensely moving story from the first five minutes, Embracelet is a lovely game that draws you effortlessly into its protagonist’s mind as he traverses the landscape of humanity. You feel his sense of powerlessness and grow with him as he builds relationships that allow him to flourish.

  I felt a deep sense of sadness that my time with them was over. I wanted to stay in this world. Not because there was some grand adventure to be had, but because I wanted to keep spending time with these characters. I wanted to see where their lives would take them. Embracelet is a brief glimpse into a beautiful world, and while I’m sad it's over, I’m glad I was able to be part of it while I could.

  It’s a very underrated title at the moment — that’s for certain. While it contains a lot of cliches, they work decently and are easy to overlook. The game also dares to bring up some sensitive themes like sexuality, poverty, and death, integrating them cleverly and subtly.
