story4 positive mentions

Stunning and unique art style with gorgeous, colorful, and immersive environments.
Engaging and satisfying gameplay featuring intuitive swimming mechanics and a clever song-learning puzzle system.
Compelling atmosphere complemented by a fantastic soundtrack and thoughtful sound design that enhances exploration and immersion.

Story feels a bit rudimentary and could benefit from deeper lore, more character interactions, and additional world-building elements.
Some songs can be difficult to execute precisely, potentially hindering puzzle progress for less skilled players.
Lack of certain quality-of-life features such as a codex, map pins for collectibles, and flavor text for non-useful songs which could improve immersion and navigation.

The story is praised for its unique treatment of themes like violence, imperialism, and coexistence with supernatural beings, though some find it somewhat rudimentary and desire more plot depth and NPC interactions toward the end. Overall, it complements the game's peaceful and cozy atmosphere, contributing to an immersive and well-written experience.
- “This game is pretty good and really overlooked. From a visual and artistic standpoint, it is definitely one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen. The gameplay structure, being a cozy and more 'peaceful' game, fits really well with the themes the story tackles.”
- “Regarding the story, I think it is a little rudimentary but still works well. This is the first time I see a game treat the themes of violence, imperialism, balance, and respectful coexistence with a supernatural being in such a way, which was really fascinating for me.”
- “I was immersed in the story, the beauty of the game, everything.”
- “Regarding the story, I think it is a little rudimentary but still works well. This is the first time I see a game treat the themes of violence, imperialism, balance, and a respectful coexistence with a supernatural being in such a way, which was really fascinating for me, but I think we could have gotten more plot importance.”
- “The amount of story was vast in the beginning but it felt less toward the end.”
- “I would have loved to meet even more NPCs with dialogue later in the game too, either just with more lore or have some more small quests where you get to interact with the NPCs more.”

The music in the game is praised for its fantastic and immersive soundtrack, with a fun and satisfying singing mechanic that rewards players for discovering and learning new songs. While some songs can be tricky to perform, the clear feedback system helps players feel accomplished, enhancing the overall cozy and engaging experience.
- “Fantastic soundtrack too!”
- “The soundtrack is especially amazing.”
- “The singing mechanic was so fun and satisfying, and it felt very rewarding finding new songs to be able to solve new puzzles.”
- “The addition of flavour text when different songs (that have no use) are played in front of NPCs would help with immersion.”
- “I felt like some songs were a bit hard to execute at times (the ones that go 'wiiiioooohwioooooh'), which made it unclear if nothing happened because of the game mechanics or my lack of precision.”
- “The addition of pins on the map to keep track of the little fishies could be done via a song maybe?”
