Our Expert Score

84/100

Hindsight is a poignant, beautifully crafted narrative journey that uses a unique perspective-shifting mechanic to tell a story about memory and loss. Unlike traditional puzzles that test your logic, Hindsight’s puzzles are emotional; you rotate and align objects from a woman's past to open windows into her memories. It feels less like a game and more like an interactive poem about the objects we leave behind and the weight they carry.

Visually, the game is stunning in its simplicity. Every transition feels fluid, pulling you deeper into the protagonist's life as she returns to her childhood home. It’s a short experience—best played in one sitting with headphones—but its impact lingers long after the credits roll. It’s a masterclass in 'environmental storytelling' where a simple tea cup or a window frame can evoke a lifetime of regret or joy. If you loved 'Florence' or 'Old Man's Journey,' this is a mandatory experience.

General bug fixes and improvements


What if the physical objects of everyday life, the possessions we hold close, were actual windows to the past? Peer into distant memories and unseen futures in Hindsight.

From the creator of Prune, Hindsight is a narrative exploration game spanning the entirety of a woman's life, from birth to present day, as she tries to make sense of it all. Revisit her childhood home, sort through personal belongings, and step through windows to memories frozen in time.

Hindsight asks you to slow down and pay attention to the little things left behind. Piece these things together and shift your viewpoint until you find just the right perspective to pull you deeper into the past.

Long forgotten memories and dreams cascade into one another. Linger as long as you wish, but sooner or later you must come back to the present.

What will you take with you? And what will you leave behind?
