Dinsun Review
At forty, narrative-driven mobile indie games need to do something genuinely extraordinary with their writing to keep my attention. And Roger presents itself as a quirky little puzzle adventure with stylistic flair, but the actual script feels disjointed and meandering. You solve straightforward environmental puzzles and click through dialogue prompts, but the narrative hook never truly sinks its teeth in.
It isn't a broken game—the interface is clean and it won't crash your phone—it's just aggressively mediocre in a market overflowing with creative indie titles. If you enjoy low-stakes narrative puzzlers to pass an evening, it won't offend you. Dinsun’s score: skip it unless you've played everything else in the genre.
