If On A Winter’s Night, Four Travelers is a narrative-driven point-and-click adventure with horror elements that explores the stories of four characters in a masked ball taking place aboard a train in the late 1920s. https://store.steampowered.com/app/16039...Travelers/

This free, nearly two-hour episodic pixel adventure about mental health issues is quite compelling.

The story of the homosexual man who wants to separate from his partner in the 1930s for safety reasons is a little short at just over twenty minutes, while the story about a war veteran's guilt was too long for my taste. I liked the story of a woman addicted to medication best. The way the withdrawal symptoms were portrayed was very moving.

In the first story, there are even variations in the plot depending on how you react.

There are hardly any puzzles; I only had to think four times, otherwise you are always told what to do. I needed the walkthrough twice. You have to retrace life paths or memorize what listeners said and in what order. That had a pleasant level of difficulty; otherwise, it was too easy.

The problem with the graphics was that you often couldn't see the objects

I loved the concept of this game. Sometimes a short experience can be better than a game with hundreds of hours gameplay.

Especially with serious themes, such games give you something to think about afterwards.

Quite a sad game. Not in a bad way, just decidedly on the gloomy side!

I think it's cool when games go for detail in their stories. Getting close to a character's experience, their circumstances and the repercussions of the way events unfold.
