The Good
- Excellent melding of atmospheric music and slick visuals in a distinctive open dollhouse design
- easy navigational control
- emotionally compelling story that blends plot and puzzles well
- spectacular voice acting that breathes life into robotic characters.
The Bad
- Only saves automatically after the end of each in-game day
- simple puzzles won’t pose much difficulty for those who prefer more challenging brain teasers.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
For a story starring a robot vacuum cleaner and a smart home A.I., the short but sweet Rumu showcases a wide spectrum of human emotions, which is a feat that not even many people-centric dramas achieve.
