Jordan Lemos, GIZORAMA - "When I first saw The Firefly Diary, I was more than intrigued. It immediately made me think of Limbo, an indie game that has an interesting art style, no dialogue, and a fair bit of trial and error. The idea for The Firefly Diary actually came out of an inner-company contest for new games. The game that won was turned into the full game that is The Firefly Diary. If anything can be said about the creation of the game, its that more companies should look inside for new ideas that they can put out with minimal resources. As for the game itself, youre not going to hear any dialogue or see any text past the first few minutes. Its this minimalist design that was one of my favorite parts of the game. There is no map taking up a part of the screen, no health meter, no anything. The screen itself is dark and seems to flicker, adding to the mystery and atmosphere in the game. All in all, I love how the game looks, but looks can definitely be deceiving."
