I have no idea what is going on. I am smashing everything up with a meat tenderizer, slicing every food into little chunks, then hurling it all over the floor. There is also some cute jellyfish stealing my food, and I also seem to be playing music. I have no idea what is going on, but it's sure fun.

Finished. Fun little game to play, though controls can be a little janky so not bothering for the Platinum trophy. Don't overthink it and you'll likely enjoy it.

It's an amazing art exhibit and I'll never stop being thankful that folks just make things that feel different. It's a toy, it's a museum, it is a game not in the sense we've grown accustomed to, but in the traditional sense: it centers PLAY. Nour is a synesthetic burst of color and sound, trying the senses together in fun ways, and taking excellent advantage of platform specific features (like the dualshock speakers) to draw the player's sensory experience into the screen.
It's not to be played through all at once, it's not to be mastered or perfected. It's a painting you can count on being there if you need to mess around without having to eat the result or tidy up the dishes.
Is it good? Hell if I know. It's not really the point. It's a really soulful tech demo that can exist in the background of your home to make you think about that noodle place you like.
It was exactly what I expected when I wishlisted it ages ago and I was very thankful to have an experience for a few hours that didn't require anything but my attention.
