Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. Arrog is less of a game and more of an interactive poem. It’s remarkably short—you can finish it in under thirty minutes—but those thirty minutes stay with you. The hand-drawn art is stark and beautiful, and the way it uses color to punctuate the narrative is masterful. It deals with death and transition in a way that feels mature and thoughtful, which is a rarity in the mobile space.
Because of its brevity and simple puzzles, I can’t give it a massive score. It’s a one-and-done experience. However, I’d much rather spend thirty minutes with something this intentional than thirty hours in a generic gacha game. It’s a solid 71 for its artistic merit and emotional impact, though players looking for a 'challenge' will find it severely lacking.
