Feeling absurdly emotional about this game ;( This is not a cozy, relaxing farming game. It is not exciting. Its an emotional experience. It didnt even make me happy. I felt depressed, and awful. I was essentially playing out my worst fears. And thats why I recommend it. You are old, and you are alone, the rest of the world moves on without you, but there is joy to have in the simple life of a farmer. You have flowers to tend to, chickens and goats to take care of. You can laugh at the simple things around you. But then you find memories, buried in the desert, and the letters from home turn frightening, and your loved ones slowly stop writing. You have nightmares. The laughter and songs stop coming. The wolves come at night. The birds disappear, even your chickens from a locked coop. The storms come. The flowers die. The cheese rots in the storeroom. What did you store all that much for, are you going to live long enough to use them? She is scared, and she is alone, and the days are going by too fast for her, faster than they should. Everything she loves is disappearing slowly, and soon, she will too. This is a beautiful game about sadness and loss and the inevitability of age and death. But it is done so softly, so quietly, that the ache had settled into my heart before I even realised it.

What makes The Stillness of the Wind stand out is its emotional depth. Through letters from family members in the city, the game subtly unfolds a larger, mysterious narrative that contrasts the peace of rural life with the turmoil of the outside world. The art style is minimalist yet atmospheric, and the slow, deliberate pacing invites players to savor the moment, reflecting on themes of aging, loss, and the passage of time. The game may not be for everyone, as its slow pace and lack of traditional objectives could feel uneventful to some. However, for those who appreciate quiet, contemplative experiences, The Stillness of the Wind offers a poignant and intimate journey that lingers long after the game ends.

The game was frustrating most of the times, but it was bittersweet. The days felt long and tiresome since Talma is so slow. But then I started to miss the amount of chores when the days became bleaker. The dialogues and pages (of books, maybe) felt extremely personal and beautiful. The letters were all sweet except for the last ones. They, legit, made me cry. Overall, the game is a reminder of how everything changes and death is inevitable. A truly wonderful experience to have lived Talma's life through this game.

This was an interesting experience, and hit home in a way that I wasn't expecting. The game does an excellent job of portraying the passage of time and capturing just how surreal that can feel. Life starts out colorful and vibrant, but grows increasingly more monotonous as you get older. Suddenly you are no longer a kid, and carefree existence is just a distant memory. As we grow older we gain experience and knowledge that shapes us in different ways, we gain more awareness of what is going on in the world. Despite that, we are expected to just keep living our lives as normal while horrible things are happening around us. It's a strange feeling. Similarly, the game starts out warm and comforting, but grows more and more unsettling as the days go by. I've seen comments on how slow it is, but I think that's part of what makes it good. Things changed so gradually that I didn't really notice at first, and that's what made it so effective, I think. TL;DR: Game passed the deception check and effectively bamboozled me, thanks.

This game is very eye opening. Really makes you think about how many end up alone when they get older. Would definitely recommend it though! The music and scenery is just beautiful.
