It's a walking sim with a tad of gameplay elements. Some very light puzzle stuff and easy platforming. I quite enjoyed the game and my 1,5 hours with it. I've played similar abstract walking sims, but this was my favorite so far. Usually they are too abstract and you get lost and just wander around searching for the right path to the point of frustration. This game is more clear in its progression and pretty linear even if there are lots of open areas. I will not play this again, but I might show it to a friend. I do recommend the game if you're into this kinda stuff, but I'm not sure if it's worth the asking price for a lot of people. Luckily the game often has a deep discount. I think I bought it 90% off. I salute the developers for making an out of the box game. I'll be sure to check out other projects they've made or will make.

The game accomplishes what it sets out to do very well. You should know what you're getting into since this is a walking sim. That said, I really liked the exploration aspect, and the sense of serenity and wonder it was able to instil. The sights and sounds match and go beyond the expectations set by the trailer. Recommended if you want a short escape without much gameplay. It goes on sale for pretty cheap.

A really unique experience, I enjoy the concept of being able to chain clicks on trees to keep in the air and move quickly, could easily be a mechanic in some sort of PvE game.
