I started playing this from my partner's library, just to have something cozy and casual to unwind with. I was not prepared for the emotional damage I would suffer and cried at the end. 4 months later, when my partner finished it, I cried again. At this point I felt obliged to financially support this little work of art that made me cry TWICE, and bought it for myself. Absolutely recommended if you are looking for a slowburn, immersive journey with a big emotional pay-off. 10/10 for best boy Chesley

This was a beautiful game, though if you're particularly sensitive to the subject of loss it may be hard to get through. But it's very charming and relaxing for the most part to play. My only real complaint is the canoe. Even with simplified mechanics I just hated driving the canoe around. Which is a shame because the canoe is one of the places the main character comes to life. Overall a really lovely game that you can tell had a lot of heart in it.

At the very end of the game, I burst into tears, crying like a complete idiot. Honestly, the game design is genius-just the right amount of confusion and alternative explanations obscured the truth, but when the truth was finally revealed, it didn't overshadow the rest of the story. Instead, everything came together perfectly, each part complementing the others. After calming down, I realized that the most emotionally fragile one throughout the game was actually me. The protagonist was incredibly strong, and after playing the whole game, the immense psychological support that Mom and the dog provided became fully tangible. As I type this, I feel like crying again, but my heart is warm because I know death and farewell aren't the end. Those who are gone forever become a part of our hearts and our identity, always walking beside us.

I'm struggling to figure out how to review this game. Ultimately, I think it's worth playing, and there is a lot to like about, but large chunks feel a bit aimless and even a bit boring. However, the final chapter, and especially the end to that chapter, is an emotional gut punch that makes the game worth playing. Before the final chapter The Good: • The visual design is great. Depicting depression as a world devoid of color is an extremely apt metaphor. Furthermore, depicting an animal, a pet, being able to bring some color (even if it's fleeting) to world rings very true to life. • The dog is very cute ;) • The music fits the story well, and is an essential component to telling the story. • The sound design is also great, with the sounds the dog makes (barking, whimpering, panting, etc.) rings very true to life. • The voice acting by the main character is fantastic • Each island is unique, and the landscapes are generally gorgeous • The finale is achingly beautiful, and will make you cry at least a little bit. The Bad • The overall gameplay is pretty underwhelming. It mostly consists of you controlling the dog from the 3rd person as you walk you around and occasionally run or jump on things. There are some puzzles scattered through the game that are all fairly simplistic and easy to solve. • Up until the final chapter, the story is also somewhat underwhelming. It's a perfectly fine story, but there's nothing truly compelling about it. Combined with the simplistic gameplay, this adds up to a somewhat boring game. • The animation of the main dog and the other animals can be a bit clunky and janky • The first two chapters are honestly a bit boring. There are a few puzzles here and there to help you learn the fairly simple mechanics of the game, but otherwise it's just a dog walking around, which is cute at first, but that cuteness only lasts so long. • Without the finale, I honestly don't think I could recommend this game. The Could be Good/Could be Bad • This is fairly short game (it's 5 chapters), and you can easily play through the whole thing in a single sitting. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as some games have just become unnecessarily long, to the point that it's impossible to complete every aspect of the game. • There's an option to have Gaelic subtitles in addition to regular English subtitles. This is supposed to add a certain authenticity to the game, but in practice I mostly just ignored them as there's no way I would be able to sound-out the Gaelic while also listening to the dialogue. I left them on, just because they weren't a distraction, but I think there could've been a better way to integrate Gaelic into the game. Let's talk about that finale though. Without it, I honestly don't think I could recommend this game; but the finale reframes the story in such a way as to make you rethink everything you had done previously. It's not a big twist, and it's something you can see coming from a mile away, but exactly how it unfolds and the reveal that is made is not what I was expecting (in a good way!). And beyond that, it will make you cry, it may even make you sob. I found myself to be a blubbering mess, which I was truly not expecting. The finale kinda broke me (in a good way!) In other words, if for no other reason, play the game for the emotional catharsis you'll experience. It's not every long, so you'll get to the end quickly, and just be prepared to cry.

I'm not crying, you're crying. Seriously, you'll need a box of tissues for this beautiful game, especially if you have ever had a Border Collie.
