Sometimes feels a little too cryptic, has a really nice atmosphere and there is always something to do, overall good game. Might come back for the harder difficulty.
I've been playing various versions of this game since 2014, never having beaten it, until yesterday (2021)
I really really dig this game. It pulls everything together in the end to make this assertation about the complexity of confronting our own problems, the way we repeatedly go up against them, and how we need to listen to ourselves. It resonates on a lot of my own feelings about needing to take breaks and recenter the self.
It's a great game if you like puzzly point-and-clicks mixed with survival mechanics. Multiple difficulty levels let you play a much more puzzly game or more survival-focused game depending on what you prefer.

One of the most amazing games I have ever played. The artwork and the atmosphere is beautiful and often haunting. I spent many nights, chilling in the dark with this game and it is was truly an incredible experience.
The developer continues to update this game still and despite all the time I've put in, I have not yet plumbed all its secrets.
