Reviews for "Beyond Darkness"

The music is good.I like it.

A mystifying tale with a dark undertone and a pair of endings that make you question life.
Good music, decent art, captivating storyline, and simplistic controls. A little more work on your character models would have got you an extra half star but as it is, it's outstanding.

Minor Spoiler warning, you've been warned!

It's an absolutely beautiful game. It's a sad story and it's very well executed. If it were any other way, it would have felt cheap. The swap between Luna and Agnes after Agnes wakes up from her coma is well executed and I found myself shedding just a few tears after the reveal of what Agnes was dealing with. While it doesn't really make sense why Luna told Agnes to ask Riki for answers, I didn't bother me too much. The ending choice had me stumped for a little while. It actually reminded me of the "To be" soliloquy from Hamlet. While suicide seemed to be, paradoxically, the "happiest" ending, I prefer the second ending because it shows a certain strength in Agnes and the uncertainty of her future is fitting. I personally want Agnes to have a happy life, but giving that denouement, that resolution, would have felt... cheap.
It's sad, it's a hard thing to think about, and I loved this graphic novel. I award this short, beautiful and somber story a 4.5 star rating.

good stuff!

touched my feel, man
art works for me, for me its the story that counts
