Absolutely stunning photorealistic graphics and immersive atmosphere. A walking sim peppered with clever puzzles and an intriguing mystery.
I really wanted to like this game but god damn it was so boring the only part that I could truly say it was good was the ending with the big plot twist

Atmospheric exploration game that really captivated me at the time. You shouldn't expect too much in terms of game mechanics, but the story is well told and very mysterious. I really liked the natural setting and the graphics were really impressive at the time.
A detail-oriented mystery that takes a while to settle into. The mechanics and general process are vague at the start, making for a sometimes frustrating experience in the open-world setting, but once you get the hang of the game's direction, the overall journey becomes significantly smoother and the underlying story revealed stays engaging, layered with metaphor and suspense. Fun time!
so damn pretty
when they feed you the line in the beginning that this game won't hold your hands they weren't lying
i uh, do not jive well with games as open as this, but i liked it a lot anyway, and just kept a guide handy for any time i got stuck, it works for me

What a neat little walking sim. It really keeps you engaged with the story. Very mysterious.
This game is pretty. It is stylized. The music is nice.It has great vibes. But also can be triggering.
This is mostly a walking sim. It has light puzzle elements and a few collectable. It is easy to get all the trophies. There is no platinum though.
The biggest issue here are the order puzzles. Finding all the clues needed to start the puzzle is the issue. Sometimes they are just stupidly well hidden. The order can be a bit obtuse as well. The last thing is that, as is tradition with walking sims, you are slow.
The story is neat. It's not a long game. May last a little too long but still short. Just know that it def can be triggering. It's not a happy game.
It's a great 1 time experience. I would only recommend playing it again if you want to clean up the optional collectables. You will find most on your first playthrough so it won't take more than a few minutes to clean up the rest of the trophies.
