The Great Perhaps has a lot of good ideas yet fails to devote enough attention to them, raising lots of questions but not answering many. While the artwork and music are highlights, they’re not enough to balance out what is otherwise a disappointing experience.

TheGreat Perhaps sounds like a missed opportunity to deliver a truly enjoyable and unique piece of adventure.

The Great Perhaps provides a unique adventure puzzler with a story that is sure to surprise the player once completed. The hand drawn art style is endearing and the music fits the games ambiance very well. Unfortunately, The Great Perhaps is very short, with less than 3 hours of gameplay on its best day. With no achievements and no reason to revisit The Great Perhaps, this is definitely an adventure that you will only take once.

Игра хорошая, может увлечь на один вечер.
В игре мне много что понравилась, но особенно мне понравилась атмосфера.
Советую купить, но только со скидкой.

A short but charming adventure in which atmosphere and style are more important than clever puzzles and creative design decisions.

This game is just so good! I was so immersed in the discovery of this bizarre world and the time-travel aspect is such a great addition. First and foremost here is the ATMOSPHERE. I mean it is THAT good, trust me. Music, sound, artwork are always at the right place and right time (pun intended). Voice acting is strange but in a good way. Of course the game is not perfect but it is a low-budget Indie for Christs sake! And it is studio's debut. I wish every debut was like that. Anyway, highly RECOMMEND!

Amazing atmosphere, art and music. I love how smart and deep this game can be even tho I wouldn't call it a game with hard and unique gameplay. Main mechanic is a joy to play around with. That's what i call a great Indie.

This is one gigantic miss and perhaps one of the worst games of the year.

Even as The Great Perhaps evolves and introduces new mechanics, it struggles to capture the magic its story so desperately tries to evoke. The idea of traveling back in time to celebrate your history, to get closure for a life that passed you by; it tastes bitter without the sweet. If only Caligari could travel back in time and tell themselves that perhaps a gimmick does not a game make. Until then, this game is far from great.

A solid indie with some interesting gameplay elements that aren’t anything we haven’t seen before but is enjoyable anyway. I loved the interactive score in the game as well as the beautiful melancholic visuals. Never thought I’d dig Soviet aesthetic, but I did! I also wish I could get all the references written in Russian, I’m sure there were a lot. Recommend to anyone who likes a games with nice visuals and immersive atmosphere.

Великое Возможно - неплохая игра, способная увлечь на один вечер, но не стоит ожидать от неё чего-то сверхъестественного.
SummaryThe Great Perhaps is a time travel puzzle game about an astronaut returning to Earth destroyed by natural cataclysms. There, among the ruins he finds an unusual artifact — an old lantern, in the light of which you can see glimpses of another time and travel to the past.
