The door to the apartment is jammed, so she can’t step outside. None of the clocks around Charlie are working, so she can’t confirm the time for herself. It appears to be night outside the apartment windows, and yet it’s only supposed to be around two in the afternoon. The more time she spends alone in the apartment, the stranger things get.

Romantic woes aren’t the only issue Charlie has to deal with here, otherwise the movie probably wouldn’t be categorized as horror. The longer Simone stays out of contact, the more paranoid Charlie gets – and with reason, because flashbacks show us that this isn’t exactly the most pleasant relationship. Simone’s flight landed on time, she should be arriving any minute… But she doesn’t, and Charlie can’t reach her on the phone. It’s a special night, Charlie and Simone’s anniversary, and Charlie is looking forward to celebrating. They have experience, and they used the knowledge they gained over the years to make an incredibly well-crafted film that looks great, even while showing us little more than one person in one location.īennett stars as that one person, Charlie, who is sitting at home alone in her apartment, waiting for her girlfriend Simone (Emma Myles of Orange Is the New Black) to get home from a business trip. Although Alone With You marks the feature directorial debut of Emily Bennett and Justin Brooks, they both already have several years of credits to their names, Bennett as an actor and director of shorts, Brooks as a director of shorts and a cinematographer (among other credits). And yet when you hear that Alone With You is a COVID-era movie set almost entirely in one location, centering on one character who has an occasional interaction with others through their computer and phone, you might brace yourself to see something that’s going to be lacking in some way, like maybe the low budget is going to be extremely apparent in the picture quality. REVIEW: By now we’ve seen multiple movies that were made in the COVID age where people are shown staying at home and interacting with each other through computer and/or phone screens, and some of them have been quite good.

It's very heartbreaking, especially towards the end.PLOT: Things start to get very strange while Charlie sits at home alone, waiting for her girlfriend to return from a business trip. By collecting items and feeding them into a reconstructor, the survivor is able to relive the memories of the last few scientists that were alive before an unspecified event killed them.

The story revolves around the last survivor of a space colony exploring the ruins of a crumbling planet. There are saturated colors, fuzzy filters, and smooth transitions between each screen that help set the mood. Inspired by old-school point-and-click adventure titles, Alone With You is rendered in a style not dissimilar to that of Sega CD games. Alone With You is something of a hidden gem in the indie scene and is well worth multiple playthroughs to see its different endings. I would heartily recommend the game to anyone that has a penchant for puzzles and symbolic writing. Retailing for $9.99, pre-orders are currently live on the Nintendo eShop with a pre-launch discount of 10% off. Indie developer Benjamin Rivers has announced that his acclaimed sci-fi romance title Alone With You will be launching on Nintendo Switch on July 30, 2021.
