Evaluation

Sayonara Golden Days launched on May 19, 2021 as a self-contained narrative puzzle game about a college game development club. The store description presents it as a complete, finished product — listing a specific set of content (30+ levels, specific assets, etc.) with no mention of future updates or additional content. The only DLC, "Golden Souls," shipped on May 20, 2021 — the day after the base game launched — and appears to have been part of the release package from day one. Following launch, the developer posted a small cluster of bug fixes and minor patches through June 3, 2021, then went quiet. There have been no announcements, roadmaps, or hints of additional content at any point. The game appears to have been designed and released as a complete, finished work, with post-launch activity limited to routine fixes in the days immediately following release.

About this game

You will play a downcast game developer, opening your only and failed project for the last time. The teammates who worked on the game are no longer with you, but as your memories of them merge with reality, you will once again step into the world of fantasy.

Main gameplay:


  • Investigate the room you are in to remember the past
  • Play an unfinished puzzle game and find the truth through its commentary track

The game includes:


  • An unfinished puzzle game
  • An in-game VR headset
  • More than 30 levels
  • A few butterflies
  • 4,352 images (maybe, I didn't count)
  • 357 audios (who cares)
  • As many pixels as the size of your monitor
  • Imagination
