    JEF is an amazing game where you help an alien discover the meaning of his name. You get to explore surreal and goofy environments during this quest to knowledge and get to interact with funny and creatively designed characters. It was a very meditative and trippy experience and had some good secrets to find for anyone interested. Another hidden gem from this developer.

Maybe it was a mistake to play Lavender first, but that game was just so crisp visually and very coherent in its eclectism. JEF is a mashup of ugly assets covered by distance fog. Where Lavender had a underlying message, JEF is just trying its hardest to simply weird you out with…
