    The game is an in depth analysis on the borderline personality disorder; it goes through the journey of a girl's mind being betrayed by her own father trying to find peace with that; it does it with the help of an avatar controlled by the player.

The game is imperfect in that it drags too long explaining certain concepts and with excessive usage of allegory while the gameplay itself is too simplistic to offer any depth. Perhaps it would work even better as an indie film instead of a game because the best part of it is the core story and not the gameplay.… Expand

    It tells a touching story. Graphics and music also very enjoyable. You will experience several mysteries and twists during the playthrough, but at the end you will understand the background and full picture. It is not a perfect game.

It is not a perfect game. "Combat" part can be glitchy at times and during some chapters you can feel the pace was unnecessarily slowed down. However, its storyline ultimately is appealing enough to make the shortcomings tolerable. I hope we see more games like this.… Expand

    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

    The likes of QTE-based brawls and stealth sections are less successful, and some sequences are a little drawn out – but by the end you’ll be hooked emotionally and, yes, may end up teary-eyed. [Issue#25, p.83]

    A Space For The Unbound is an unforgettable gem that finds a magnificent nexus point between a relaxing slice-of-life adventure and a supernatural exploration of mental anguish. It explores trauma made manifest within dreamscapes that bend time and space while engrossing players in a captivating rural Indonesian setting that begs to be explored.

    The gameplay of A Space for the Unbound isn’t overly deep, but its simplicity is more than made up for by its exceedingly entertaining and emotional storytelling.
