April 2025
An excellent puzzler: - Not a horror game, but palatably creepy (coming from someone with no tolerance for horror games) - Theme is really strong, and puzzles are mostly diegetic - as in they are explainable within the world of the game - Story is very compelling, leaves you wanting to explore the world of the game more - Notes and clues for puzzles are well-designed - Looks amazing Only mild negatives: - Puzzles can be quite easy - Walking and running speeds are slow - Some invisible barriers can be a bit frustrating

After having played through the whole game once, these are my thoughts: First of all, the game is absolutely stunning in the visual department — the music is also really good and the voice acting was quite enjoyable. However, I didn't find the story quite as gripping and I was kind of dissapointed by the ending. This would be alright if the puzzles weren't so tedious. There's a few stand-outs but so many of them took way too much time just because you have to keep walking around until you find the necessary diary entries. And the walking speed, even when sprinting, made it even longer if you forgot to check one spot, so I found myself constantly backtracking. Now, I've encountered some issues towards the final chapters: in Chapter 5, I was unable to open the diary while underwater during one of the water-current puzzles. The diary was updated, I just couldn't interact with it until I had already solved the puzzle and saw it had the necessary information I was missing — specifically, the note about the device that opened the door only for a couple of moments. I just got it out of luck after swimming around for like 30 mins, when I realised the camera slightly shifted focus towards the door in the distance . I don't know whether it's an intented mechanic or not, I just found it a bit frustrating regardless. In Chapter 6, I got soft-locked twice in a row. The first one, when I tried to interact with one of the constellation pannels from the sanctuary, I did it whilst standing in the middle of the pentagon and this resulted in me being teleported to the other side and getting stuck on the floor after backing away from the pannel . For the second one, I just fell off the map in the room of the rotating dragon/animal/dog bridges while walking back after completing the puzzle and getting “marked” by the statue . Both of these, in Chapter 6, were solved by the (well-implemented) autosave mechanic, so it wasn't really a big deal but it did give me some heart attacks and broke the immersion. I do recommend the game if you really like puzzles and don't mind spending some time getting lost in the beautiful environment the game has to offer. I liked it, it just wasn't totally for me.

I really enjoyed the storytelling, especially the mixture of ancient murals, journal entries and protagonist's memories. It also completely subverted my expectations. Without spoiling any of the story, it's clear from the outset that there's something very old and very dangerous hidden on the tropical island you spend most of the game exploring. So naturally I expected the tone of the story to slowly descend into horror and darkness. And then it didn't. Instead it stayed stunningly beautiful and occasionally downright cozy till the very end. There are no chases, no fights, no jumpscares, just a calm stroll across a beautiful island .. and beyond. The puzzles are on the easier side, essentially exploring the area for clues and then using those clues to advance.

If you like visually appealing, story-driven puzzle games, this one is for you. I really enjoyed the art style and general aesthetic of the game. I found the writing and story line to be pretty decent, but the visual design and fantasy elements helped elevate it and make it more interesting for me. The pacing of the story and cut scenes felt about right; it's maybe about 6 hours of gameplay for one playthrough. (I bought it on sale, so that doesn't seem like a bad value at all to me.) The abundance of written notes and recordings all over the campsites is a bit silly if you stop to think about it, but it's easy enough to forgive as a necessary narrative mechanism. The puzzles never feel repetitive, and with the automatic journal notes as clues, they generally feel appropriately challenging. Enough to make you think about it, but not enough to keep you too long from carrying on with the story. Only one of them ended up feeling a bit tedious, mostly due to the amount of walking back and forth to complete it. Overall, the story, the style, the setting combine to make for a quality game that I enjoyed.
