Press reviews: “A tiny story about the million tiny moments that end up defining who we are and who we want to be.” Vice Games “It is, in my opinion, a rare example of a game that is the perfect length. It’s like a camping trip: a brief escape that gives you a little extra space to think, breathe, and laugh.” Kotaku “...Wide Ocean Big Jacket is an experience that deserves your attention. It’s light on ‘traditional’ gameplay elements, but don’t let that stop you: the narrative structure, humour, and surprisingly complex themes make it delightful, moving, and – most importantly – a joy to play.” Switch Player
