Critic reviews
- 8.0A game for fans of Unpacking and Gone Home, Simpler Times is a short but sweet narrative experience that tells the story of a young girl through items in her bedroom. We'd have liked more, but for the two hours it lasted, it kept us hooked thanks to intriguing puzzles and a great (if sparse) narrative.
