Schim reviews and comments
SCHiM tries to explore loneliness, identity, and reconnecting with yourself, but it never really makes you feel it.
I dropped it at level 20.
The puzzles are fine, sometimes even smart, but they get repetitive fast.
The game looks like it has deep ideas, but it doesn’t know how to express them.
It shows meaning, but never lets you feel it.
