great meditation on grief and the loneliness of existence

A short, sweet, and meaningful little game. I only died once because I forgot fall damage was a thing. I loved the atmosphere, it feels rare to get a game that focuses on that instead of visuals now. That being said the visuals were lovely, and it had a meaningful ending.

Short and sweet, I like the idea of permadeath in such a short game cause it makes you a lot more invested in the exploration. Touches on the regrets and feelings surrounding the death of a loved one, good stuff.

Walking around the desert, managing water and fighting off enemies, trying to grow the flower had me entranced for the close to an hour of its runtime. It was a desolate but interesting world to inhabit. Narrative also fees into those feelings of isolation, where your character seems to have done something that the settlement can't forgive them for. I remember it being pretty easy and beating it first try, but I guess others found the difficulty harder and it lent to the atmosphere.

A very fast indie game at a more than fair price. I found it very enjoyable to explore as a whole, and its ending leaves some questions unanswered, but I don't mind not knowing the answers.
