This game combines Moss: Book 1 & 2 into one non-VR platformer game. Sometimes it really shows, that the originals were made for VR. Some angles are weird, you can't clearly see where to jump and things like that. Other than that the story is absolute gold, Quill an absolute cutie. She even communicates in sign language with us. As far as I know there won't be another game, due to the developer going bankrupt (or something like that, I forgot lol). Roughly 9h for both Books in a non-100% attempt. Get in a sale, though I think it's still worth it.

I loved Moss. I found Quill to be such a touching character, and I enjoyed the way the story is told through books. It gave me a nostalgic feeling, almost like going back to childhood and having someone read you a story. It’s a style of storytelling I hadn’t experienced in a game before, and I thought it worked beautifully. I also loved that Quill is aware of you and communicates through sign language. You’re not just controlling her, you feel like you’re accompanying her on her journey. Being able to comfort her when she needs it or celebrate with her after a victory made me feel genuinely connected to her. I’ve never experienced that kind of relationship with a character in a game before, and I thought it was a wonderful. Moss was a charming and heartfelt experience. It is a game I’ll remember fondly!

It happens to be enjoyable because of narration and the atmosphere. Sometimes it is very difficult to control the objects depending on the angle that is given. Some platforming is tedious because of how slow the climbing is.

It's one of those games that has a very lovable main character, an acceptable (although overloaded) story, and overall terrible platforming mechanics. I'd say it's still worth the full price, to support the studio, but if they spent the same amount of time researching user experience than main character development, this would be a well rounded game, instead of a tilted one. These kind of platforming games are always a hit or miss, and they depend on two things: - Camera angle for tight maneuvers - Overall platforming experience when it comes to exploration and puzzle solving Some puzzles are downright tedious, and not because of their cerebral nature - purely because hints are blocked by camera angles. If you fall off by mistake from a part that you spent minutes to climb up to, you will need to redo the whole cumbersome experience to get there again. Fights are overdone as well. Some arenas have so many, increasingly harder waves that it just makes no sense. You die a couple of times, you get prompted to skip the fight altogether - this is not accessibility, this is just poor execution, with no balancing of encounters and enemies (especially spawn times and enemy behaviour). One example would be the exploding enemies, which can two-shot you if you get caught in their radius - but their hitbox for example misses the sword-shot I direct at them over 1/3rd of times. It's just a poor experience. Story is so-and-so, I think whoever wrote it was doing the best with what he had at his disposal - although the narrative seems to be based on entirely what the development cycle left in the game - but it doesn't form a coherent whole experience (and some elements seem completely out of place for a game that is pseudo-medieval-fiction. All in all I wish I could give this a neutral rating on Steam, but it's not a pleasant playing experience from around the end of book 1, and book 2 feels rushed and unpolished compared to book 1. The only constant here is my love for Quill, which manages to offset the poor experience I have with arena encounters and platforming camera fails. Most of the time.

Fairy Lights, Summer Nights, and a Way Home. Sometimes a video game comes along exactly when you need it most. This summer was really tough and incredibly lonely for me. The days just felt endless, and everything felt a bit too heavy. But opening this game on my laptop, under the warm glow of the fairy lights in my room, changed the whole mood. I met Quill, and honestly, I didn't feel so alone anymore. It is amazing how natural Moss: The Forgotten Relic feels on a regular screen. You just sit at your desk and instantly get lost in it. From the moment you turn the first pages in that massive library, you are just wrapped in pure magic. The most beautiful part of the whole experience is definitely the Sprite Realm. I remember just stopping and staring at my screen, totally fascinated by the glowing plants, the soft light, and how incredibly peaceful everything looked. It feels like looking into a series of living, breathing little dioramas made of moss, stone, and starlight. But what makes this game so special is Quill. She is just a tiny, brave mouse with a sword that looks way too big for her, but the bond you form with her is so real. Controlling her while interacting with the world as the Reader feels like a silent, meaningful conversation between the two of you. When she looks up from the screen, makes eye contact, or celebrates after you help her solve a puzzle, the distance completely disappears. You are not just playing a game, you are looking after a friend. I spent a priceless summer evening just sitting in my room, completely lost in this world alongside my little companion. The puzzles are smart, the combat is smooth, and the music makes the whole experience feel like a genuine fairytale. When I felt most alone, you came to light my way home. This game saved my lonely summer and gave me so much warmth and comfort when I needed it. Thank you for this beautiful gem of a game, it truly felt like finding the forgotten relic I never went searching for. And thank you, sweet, precious Quill. The Reader remembers you, always. Brave little heart, we have weathered wind and gray. Paired from the start, we were meant to find our way. Trails are quiet now, memories the only sound. Pages bound, never fade. Between the lines, a two-fold tale. Darkness falls and your light will lead me home forevermore. Lead me home... forevermore!
