Our Expert Score

82/100

A Long Time is a poignant, melancholic journey that feels more like an interactive poem than a traditional puzzle game. CottonGame has a very distinct, hand-drawn art style that evokes a sense of nostalgia and 'mono no aware' (the pathos of things). The central mechanic—guiding a 'red line' of memory through sliding block puzzles—is simple, but it serves as a beautiful metaphor for trying to make sense of a long, complicated life.

While some might find the puzzles a bit basic compared to the developer’s more complex 'Isoland' series, the emotional payoff is where this game shines. It covers 60 years of a protagonist's life, and as you clear obstacles, you're essentially sorting through their grief, joy, and regrets. It’s a short, quiet experience best played with headphones on a rainy afternoon.

This is our new franchise. It is a combination of a picture book and a game, featuring a warm and soothing mood and a rich story.

A Long Time is a story about love and promises. To complete the story, you need to clear the obstacles to let the red line of memory flow through the pages by moving the blocks - which are actually fragments of emotions and flashbacks scattered over 60 years time of the protagonist's life.

This is not only a game, but also an interactive picture book, which features unique artistic depiction, and a simple yet engaging way of interaction.
