🌊 A Beautiful, Atmospheric Journey Minute of Islands is one of those games that, rather than trying to entertain you with complex gameplay, wants to pull you into its world. What caught my attention from the very beginning was the atmosphere and art style . The world is beautiful, but at the same time it has this strange feeling of loneliness and sadness. The environments and music work really well with the story and make you feel like you're walking through a world that is slowly falling apart. 🥀 The story is definitely one of the strongest parts of the game. The narrative is slow-paced, and you shouldn't expect something huge to happen every few minutes, but as you progress, you gradually learn more about the world and what happened to it. If you enjoy **atmospheric and story-driven games**, you'll probably appreciate this part. 📖 However, the gameplay could have been better . A lot of the game revolves around exploration, simple puzzles, and completing different tasks around the environment. After a while, some of it can start to feel a little repetitive. So if you're looking for action or deep gameplay mechanics, this probably isn't the game for you. Overall, Minute of Islands felt more like a short, atmospheric experience than a gameplay-focused game. Its biggest strengths are the story, art style, music, and overall mood. Its main weaknesses are the relatively simple gameplay and some slower sections. If you enjoy story-driven, atmospheric, and indie games, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. 🎮✨ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5
The artwork is really lovely and the story and setting seems really interesting however the gameplay is strangely sluggish. The cut scenes are very slow and have long moments where almost nothing is happening. E.g. each time the boat docks at an island it is shown the whole way and very very slow. Kind of frustrating and you can't skip or speed it up. Even the character's walking pace is oddly slow so it feels like a choice but a choice that is very irritating to the player. The game is also not particularly challenging so the whole game feels like it moves at a crawl. The only reason I continued was the charming illustration style. I'd recommend it on sale but I wish they could just put a patch on the game to skip the cut scenes or just move a bit faster.
Occasionally I'll remember an indie game I enjoyed, and I'll visit the games Steam page to see if the team behind it ever did anything after that. Oftentimes I find out that the team fizzled out after that, or released a pandering game that didn't really make sense with their skill set or pedigree. It's rare that I find a follow up that actually interests me. I really enjoyed the Inner Worlds games, which combined an interesting whimsical story with just a bit of darkness, and actually had puzzles that felt satisfying to figure out without resorting to a walkthrough. I feel like there's a lot of insecurity in the narrative indie game space about how much of a game you're actually making, and it seems like Studio Fizbin didn't feel confident about the point-and-click genre, so we end up with a game that's mostly walking simulator but breaks that up periodically with sections it almost feels too generous to call puzzles. They're really just tasks that add a slight bit of friction and movement, and I don't honestly know how much they add to the experience. And that's a shame, because the experience itself is rather impactful. Minute of Island revolves around the idea of a chosen one whose been failing over time. It doesn't take long in the narrative to appreciate that Mo's efforts aren't really amounting to much. She was given a task of great importance, but it doesn't seem like she's made anything better, even for her small cluster of islands, and the mission we're given at the start seems like a bandage on a bullet wound. The art definitely does a lot of the heavy lifting here. Fizbin makes a decaying world of biological horror look surprisingly gorgeous through the bright color palette given to the deadly fungus and the ruined seaside environment. There's a pervasive sense of dread and defeat throughout. Not many games really deal with failure despite often having routine fail conditions, so it was a nice break from the usual Hero's Journey formula. Beyond the needless game play mechanics, there's a few quality of life things that were hard to get over. In general I almost never find video game characters fast enough. The speed you get with the run button should probably just be the standard speed, and run should be nearly too much. Almost any unique action, like crawling through tunnels, takes an agonizing amount of time, involving a laborious animation that you can't speed up or skip. The game regularly screeches you to a halt for the narrator to say her peace, which feels unnecessary because I'm capable of moving and listening at the same time. I don't know if it was an attempt to pad out the game length, or if Fizbin felt that every word said was so important we shouldn't be multitasking. Beyond anything else, for me completing a game usually means its at least solid, and I left Minute of Islands genuinely moved by the experience. Maybe the themes of failure and not giving in to sunken costs were too biographical for the studio, because it doesn't seem like they've shown an interest in making games like this sense. It looks like they've taken the path I described at the beginning, making a dull-looking roguelike that mostly just seems like a reskinned Hades. But maybe I'll check back in another 5 years. EDIT: I should really google the studio before making statements like that. They got shut down by their publisher a few weeks before their Hades-like even came out. It just adds another layer of sadness to the whole thing.
