How We Know We're Alive is a touching story about how the business of life can affect our relationships. This one is definitely a tear-jerker. From the beginning of the game, the original music pulled me in with its melancholy feel, but the dialogue and visuals, such as the consistent rain throughout the story, hammed the point home. Not that I'm complaining. Moving throughout the small Swedish town and learning more about the past kept me glued to the screen and, perhaps most importantly, left an emotional toll.

Ah, How We Know We're Alive, a heart-tugging game that will make you want to hug your loved ones tightly. The pixelated graphics are reminiscent of a beautiful watercolor painting, and they're just as impressive as the attention to detail. Not Tonight! has similarly impressive graphics, and I loved that game. How We Know We're Alive's hauntingly beautiful music sets the melancholy tone of the story perfectly, as you interact with the interesting characters and learn about their struggles.

Ah, How We Know We're Alive, the game that tugs at your heartstrings and makes you want to call up your loved ones and tell them how much you appreciate them. It's like a good romantic comedy, but without the predictable ending and cheesy one-liners. First off, let's talk about the graphics. They're pixelated, but in a good way. It's like looking at a beautiful watercolor painting, except it's made up of tiny squares.
