Wow. Incredible. I play a lot of games and this one is tied for first place. It has Never Ending Story vibes, a story within a story. The game play itself if quite simple, no challenge or skill needed for the game or the puzzles. This is different. It's not about the puzzles and skills. It's about story and creativity and courage. It's a tear jerker but I loved every second of it and I didn't want it to end. This one hits all the feels. It read my heart and felt like being home.
Was a very well written and acted interactive story game. I appreciate games that are more story focused and this was very good and enjoyable! It was also very relaxing to play with nice music. I liked how it interwove the journal and the game world durning each chapter and drew you into the story. My mother died when I was in high school so the theme of loss of a loved one really connected with me. I probably would of really benefited from playing this game at that time, so I could see this game as a useful therapy tool for loss. I went through all the stages of grief long ago on my own, but I hope this game could help someone younger. As a game I just wish it had more magic words to use to make it a bit more challenging and complex. Most of the game was really easy and simple with what you were supposed to do. You usually only had 2-3 words to use at any one time. Only the final Chapter was there any parts that took any time to figure out what to do and you could still use all the few words anyway to try them so I don't think it would even stump a young person. Would of prefred the whole game to have more word puzzles where you have to think a bit. Most were just raise a platform to go up or break a block in front of you. Even so I would highly recommend this game and hope the Devs make more games in the future that are story focused and well made like this one!
I don't know how i stumbled upon this game but i'm glad i did because i ended up enjoying it way more than i thought i would. Obviously the gorgeous visuals are what drew me in initially and they delivered with nice vistas and gorgeous lighting for the 2.5D parts and clever usage of watercolour for the diary sections. The music was also beautiful which makes me glad i picked up the OST along with my copy of the game. Sound effects on the other hand were pretty weak although the voice acting itself was very strong. This leads me to the game's best trait and whatmanaged to pleasantly suprise me; the story. The pacing and writing is excellent with a theme i'm all too familiar with, grief. Particularly the grief of losing a grandparent. One part especially drew a few tears which is VERY rare for me, i guess i just miss them that much. As for gameplay using words to solve puzzles with logic is a unique concept that was fun but worked great narratively as well. The game ran fine on a technical level with no major bugs or fps drops, although animations were a bit janky at times. It's cheap on sale and easy to 100% with postgame chapter select. Worth playing if only for the touching story.
Cute game, story is somber and sweet. The game is aimed at a younger audience and what its trying to do it does well. For someone older its still enjoyable. Expect simple puzzles and a casual time better if you're more relaxing than rushing. It's not very long, look for a sale
