"... Tie that in with this slice of life being shared with us, and you have yourself an incredibly well written and truly unique experience. Stilstand is a brief, yet powerful story that is well worth taking the time to check out."

"The atmosphere, music, art and story, all pull together into one incredibly relatable experience. It is perfect for anyone that has ever felt like they haven’t done enough with their life, or felt that things simply have to get better."
- Review, Game Crater, oct. 2020
"Stilstand just left me speechless. It is a mouthful, but it really is a darkly, comedic, philosophical, and artistic game, with everything in between. Just look at some of the drawings and animations and it becomes clear that it is something you only see once. "

"Ida Hartmann took up the challenge. "Can you make a game that is so real that it almost becomes too real?", She asked herself. - I became curious about whether we could make a game that, like literature, depicts a reality. The crisis. The development. And do people even want to play such a game?"

"It is not necessarily a very pleasant experience to play 'Stilstand'. But I actually don't mind. I like things that are melancholic and go deep into humanity, because that is where I find it interesting”
