Our take on Promesa
Its roughly 45-minute runs differ from one another, with more than one playthrough needed to encounter all the scenes.
What is Promesa?
Promesa is a contemplative exploration game built around a conversation between a grandfather and his grandchild.
As the grandfather recalls experiences from the past and present, players move through scenes where memories and imagined places overlap. Environments draw inspiration from cities in Argentina and Italy, shifting between familiar homes and streets and surreal settings. Each playthrough lasts about 45 minutes and differs from the others; seeing every scene takes more than one run. The presentation combines pixel graphics with high-definition lighting, accompanied by an acoustic soundtrack featuring instruments such as piano, double bass, zither and harmonium.
