Nov. 2024

Interesting little game for people who appreciate artistic games. The mechanics aren't the best, nor are the controls, and the graphics have dated a bit, but I still enjoyed myself for the 2ish hours of gameplay

Sept. 2024

I wouldn't say it was 'hauntingly solitary', but it is passable fun I'll start out by saying I had some trouble with starting up. It says it 'recommends a controller', so I thought my ps4 controller would be okay. Starting the game without checking, I found the camera view was skewed so bad that most of the time I couldn't even see the main character. I had to quit back out and go to the controller menu by right clicking on the game in my library. In the controller menu I selected "Gamepad with High Precision Camera/Aim" from the controller configurator. After restarting, the camera was fixed and I was able to move the camera around with the right control stick. So I'm guessing any controller can work correctly, not just a steam controller. Which is good because no one can afford to keep buying controllers. tldr; It's true there are issues with the camera but they can be fixed with a little experimenting. ____________________________________ Into the game proper, you'll discover it is short. There is no 'rich puzzle solving', or 'journey of learning & fulfilment', at least it didn't seem that way to me. I probably could have finished the game in under 3 hours but I had to go to chapter select as I missed a triangle, and an achievement, and had to idle AGES for the last few card drops. It's always a little sad when a game's playtime is artificially extended by something as pathetic as card drops. The weirdest part of the game is probably the short segment crawling around as a baby, but in addition to playing as a young girl, there are other versions of her where she is a little older, or a lot older. It doesn't really affect the gameplay though, as there isn't that much to do in the first place. There's jumping, attacking with a sword, and the action button - mostly for grabbing things or for clicking on interactions. There's a view button too but I thought it was mostly pointless. In terms of story, I think it is beautiful, vague, and quite possibly over my head. I enjoyed the imagery, but having missed the first triangle on my original playthrough I did miss a bit of story until I chapter selected to find it... after I finished the game. The fact that there are missable story segments is poor game design - it could be that the story statues need a minor tutorial guidepost to show players what they need to be looking for. In my own experience, it helps if I have the camera and controller working in the first place, and that I don't jump off the edge right from the outset. ___________________ I think if the game could have been a big bigger and beefier in terms of puzzles I might have enjoyed it more. As it is there really is only the dragon as a repeat foe for most of the game, and some mostly linear platforming. I would have liked the mythology of the tower Toren, the sun and moon and stars, and Moonchild to be a little clearer. As it is it probably needs a replay to fully understand the mythology behind it. As a unique and interesting concept I recommend it, but in truth I am on the fence with this one.

A strange, simple story about restoring the old troubles in a world that can no longer handle the new apocalypse.

April 2024

Pros: Breathtaking Visuals and Art Style Beautiful Selection of Music Better on Linux/Steam Deck (Process Doesn't Hang) Full Refresh Rate Cons: Misbehaving Camera Clunky Jumping and Sword Fighting Achievements will only update if you close the game Menu Buttons sometimes get stuck, can't go up or down (On Linux/Steam Deck or Windows) The game process might get stuck if you're playing on Windows, and may require a full restart. This does not happen when playing on Linux or Steam Deck however. If you're looking for a couple hours to kill, and want a short story to play I'd recommend getting it during a sale. The controls are doable, but rather clunky, even by 2015 standards. The 2D artwork and 3D visuals are breathtaking, even when playing in 4K. 7/10
