beautiful soundtrack, stunning scenic art style, engaging and effectively-tuned puzzles. the story starts in a compelling manner, at least initially only doling out minimal information in a way that caught my interest, but it lost me in the end

think of it like gently building a fire using flint and light kindling, the sparks get going, a tiny flame begins to catch, and then instead of gradually encouraging it with some small twigs, you just toss a log onto it, and it extinguishes

basically, very backloaded. and not captured in the metaphor: twisty in a way that doesn't feel earned because it's so backloaded

encontrei esse jogo sem querer e gostei da mecânica dele de puzzle

Underrated game, the story is great and the puzzles are complicated but not to the point you simply cannot progress. Great pickup!

Juego bastante curioso de que se centra en puzzles, pero a la vez no importan nada, y a la vez importan mucho.

Bajo el control de Dysis se nos envia a una isla a encontrar a un tal Evan con el que no tenemos relacion, y lo que no es encontramos alli son unos puzzles basados en plataformas que desaparecen tras saltar desde ellas y unos switches que pueden hacerlas aparecer o desaparecer que parecen esconder algun tipo de mensaje.
Esta es la parte mas floja del juego, no por que este mal sino porque no tienen mucha importancia, ni son muy dificiles, ni muy imaginativos... son solo una excusa para que tengas algo que hacer (el juego te permite saltartelos si quieres incluso) y para lo que te quieren contar, donde aqui si que hay bastante mas chicha.

En la historia es donde echa todas las fichas, contandote la historia de unos cuantos personajes y el misterio de que haces en esa isla y que esconde, para acabar teniendo un girito bastante interesante. Aun asi el guion hay veces que se pasa de redundante y de tener demasiado dialogo que se podria haber ajustado con algunas revisiones para pulirlo. Pero bastante interesante teniendo en cuenta su duracion de 2-3h.

The gameplay was fine. The story had a quality that made always makes me wonder if the characters are OCs that have their own story. A lot of the characterization seems to jump around in a way that doesn't really give anyone a consistent arc.
I also hate that if you try to speed up the text speed it skips the dialogue. I get having an option to do that for speed running, but I would have appreciated a middle option where I didn't have to constantly alternate tapping right and space to make the text not be laboriously slow.

A fun, short and sweet puzzle game. Interesting and unique story, fun puzzle designs, gorgeous pixel art and a pretty soothing OST. It's really good
