Shaz from PS: "‘Keeper’ may not be a 'game of the year' contender, but it’s one of those games you need to play."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When you think about it, the essence of every game is problem-solving in one way or another. For the puzzle genre, that's expressed through a series of brainteasers. A challenge is placed at your feet and you're pushed to understand it with limited contextual clues. From industry veterans to relative newbies, familiar franchises to brand-new IPs, 2025 saw a deluge of impressive puzzlers. Among our finalists are not merely well-designed templates based on familiar staples; a couple move the genre forward in interesting directions."
"Keeper is both different and deeply intriguing, with a genuine sense of wonder woven into every moment - a world and a friendship worth exploring."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
Nusrat from NoobFeed writes: Keeper isn't just another independent experiment; it's a "meditation on existence." It's about what's left over when everything else is gone. The lighthouse and the bird's journey show how we long for meaning and fight to move forward even when things are unstable.
