In Where is my Heart? you play the story of a family of forest spirits. The family lives comfortably in a tree in the woods until one day they lose their home and thus embark on a great adventure. Their journey will take them through the mushroom caves and even deeper down to the lifeless crystal pools and back up into the mountains. Where is my Heart? offers a unique gameplay experience - the world is broken up into fragments, which you have to piece back together in your mind. It gets even more complicated as you proceed. The Rainbow Spirit allows you to rotate the world around and jump across space. The Bat King can see hidden platforms which only exist for him. Help the three spirits find their home tree again!

It's bad
Hravá a vizuálně sympaticky "gameboyovsky" stylizovaná variace na FEZ koncept, která však tvrdě naráží na svou délku a obtížnost; respektive jejich naprostou absenci. Pokořit oněch čtyřiadvacet levelů i se všemi achievementy nezabere více než hodinu. A je to škoda, protože zdejší puzzle mechanismy jsou natolik dobře vymyšlené, že jejich nevyužití v pořádných mozkolamech zamrzí o to více. Takto je to hra určená čistě pro malé děti. Což není žádná urážka či výtka, ale prosté konstatování faktu.
I like this game more in theory. It's an endearing little puzzle game that unfortunately gets pretty heavy on trial and error. The basic conceit is that the levels get a little jumbled so you have to sort out the actual order of things in order to make your way through the game. I like the way the game challenges your spatial awareness, that's neat, but it doesn't keep it from getting a bit frustrating. There are some cool moments, but nothing too exciting. The game is very okay.
The core idea is simple and fantastic: fractured windows on a contiguous world. A gentle puzzle-platformer that is all parts, no whole. Your characters traverse cohesive spaces; your eyeballs do not. A return to wholeness may be the thematic arc of the game, but it’s also what’s required of your mind to navigate each level.
Where Is My Heart? never quite follows through on its ideas, though. Only one character has an ability uniquely related to the fragmented landscapes, and the game seems content to follow the usual videogame trajectory of recombining elements towards increasing convolution. Thankfully, it is brief.
