silly feel good game that can be more if you let it

Surreal point and click adventure game. You're objective is to deliver letters to the creatures/spirits. The art style is wonderful and perfectly fits this whimsical, dreamlike environment. The background and the creatures have amazing use of color and textures. The audio and music is another highlight of the game.

You're encouraged to wander around and explore. There is no dialogue but everything was straightforward. It wasn't necessary. (Other than maybe the story and trying to understand what is going on lol.) But the mystery was a nice touch.

It is very short and my time includes collecting all the achievements in Steam. It was a nice short experience. I would recommend.

Another little lovely game from Might and Delight. The various animalistic looking spirits have a lot of character, even though there is no dialogue whatsoever in this game.

The main character looks intriguing and makes me wonder more about them and why they are the letter deliverer for these spirits.

The artwork is great as always in MaD games, you can see their signature artstyle in this game very strongly, although not as much as in their other games.

I highly recommend this little joyful game.

Tiny Echo is a very small scale adventure game along the lines of Samorost & Machinarium, in which you play a depressed little mail carrier with an eyeball for a head. Just like in those games, there's no dialog. The story or subject matter is abstract and conveyed only through the visual art. The artstyle is kind of similar to what you'll find in Amanita Design games, but still unique. Also similar to those games, the sounds and music are a delight. It's all super gentle and soft, which makes this such a relaxing experience. The gameplay also plays into that, it has very light puzzles, and they're kept to a minimum. I really like that, since Adventure puzzles just frustrate me a lot of the time.

There's something to be said for game that is this quiet, slow and easy-going, but is still able to hold my attention. It's about an hour and a half long, which is the perfect length for this particular game. And while this game wears it's inspirations on it's sleeve, it fills a nice little niche: Meditative, soft, light, short and easy on the eyes, ears, and brain.

There's a bug (a moth?) that will adjust it's tiny hairstyle when you click on it, and it's super cute lol. There's a lot of stuff like that... this game will put a smile on you're face and might make you drowsy, but in a good way.

Beautiful game. Relaxing and kind of unnerving at the same time. Neat and tidy design, well constructed world that loops on itself with clear directions. I think I was lucky because I only had to backtrack once, still, just watching Tiny Echo walk around the gorgeous backdrops is nice.

incredible art, basic game. worth your time if you have a spare couple hours and want to see some neat little dudes
