Many reviews highlight the absence of voiceovers and a linear narrative structure that can lead to confusion and disengagement.

    • “Bodur, and writer/collaborator, Mel Dawn, crafted a classic, but engaging fantasy-adventure story.”
    • “The story told is interesting and kept me playing to the end.”
    • “Tonguc's style of storytelling through his beautifully detailed and surreal worlds is unique and lovingly crafted with each new game he releases.”

    • “I couldn't make it far into this as the story just isn't interesting at all for me.”
    • “I won't spoil anything that happens after that, but the exposition given is incredibly repetitive, and about 2/3 of the way through, the story starts becoming vaguer and vaguer until you're not sure what's going on.”

  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the beautiful visuals and lush environments typical of the developer's style. However, some levels, particularly certain caves, suffer from poor design and graphical issues, including a notable glass-breaking effect that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “A few levels have bad design and graphics, especially some caves.”
    • “Another couple of graphics notes: there is one very misty area that looks great, but there is a very wonky glass-breaking effect that looks terrible. Once again, Tony relies on his trick of using huge assets in the background to make you go 'oooh!'”
    • “Graphics are somehow blurry.”
  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily a walking simulator with minimal puzzle and combat mechanics, which some players find too simplistic and lacking in exploration compared to other titles in the genre.

    • “A basic amount of adventure and action mechanics are all you need sometimes.”
    • “So far the story is really interesting, the gameplay is simple; you walk through it, shoot some werewolves, and read the interesting story.”
    • “The mechanics to this game feel nice; there are some 'rough around the edges' spots around the maps, but it's not a big deal.”
    • “The action sequences are anxiety-inducing and totally unnecessary in an otherwise chill gameplay experience.”
    • “Mostly a walking simulator with small puzzle mechanics and similarly small combat mechanics.”
    • “It doesn't have that sense of exploration or discovery as games like Gone Home or Edith Finch; it's a pretty straightforward 'walking sim' with combat.”
