    A great pixel art game with relaxing music and visual. It really drew me back to 90s era. Love it for every single moment of this game

    Script and narrative... 7? The last two chapters are the weakest and instead of taking risks they lead to something that we have already seen told on other occasions (with, for me, a pretty weak ending). Luckily, everything else keeps you going, with the occasional tear along the way.

    A truly memorable experience. I finished the game in about 12 hours. The progression starts slowly with easy and interesting puzzles. Until the last chapter, where it really pays off and the story is so unexpectedly deep that I couldn't hold back my tears toward the end. Despite the repetitive combat mechanics, this game kept me going with its beautiful pixel art and mesmerizing music. InA truly memorable experience. I finished the game in about 12 hours.

    A Space for the Unbound is one of those games that ends up having a considerable emotional impact on you, and this is not easy nowadays. A work that, even if you put on the greatest emotional armor possible, when the time comes, it will break you, it will make you reflect and draw conclusions such as how important the video game is as a medium and how unused it continues to be today in many cases. An adventure that, due to its message and the way it is told, should be in schools.

    What emerges from the emotional wreckage is a paean to human resilience in the face of catastrophe, one that amply rewards your own perseverance. [Issue#382, p.113]

    A Space for the Unbound is a narrative adventure about issues as important as they are difficult to deal with, but it does so with extreme tact and elegance through a particularly apt allegory. Despite some flaws in the gameplay mechanics, rather repetitive towards the end of the game, the story of Atma and Raya is one worth experiencing.
