A slow-paced walking simulator with beautiful graphics and serene soundtrack. The Companion shows you a story of a family of five who are on a work-vacation in this dense lush forest. You get to learn of their story and at the same time appreciate the beautiful nature of this world.

The game was alright, as a walking simulator it was a little too non-linear, where it didn't really guide you to a direction all that much, but allowed you to wander around aimlessly. Wandering around aimlessly isn't really a good thing when you want to complete the game. I needed some help from a guide to figure out which way I was supposed to go. There was occasionally this glittering light that would guide me to a direction, but it wasn't always there.

The game is stunning however, and very pretty to look at. However, the animations of the spirit fox you play as were a little off and moving around the world felt a little fake, like you were just gliding over the terrain until you get stuck into a rock. The soundtrack was really pretty though and really had a calming and serene feeling to it.

I think this game is worth it at a sale, but not at full value. I will still recommend it though! Pretty game.
