Finally played this, no idea why it doesn't get more buzz - great story, outstanding music and beautiful art and animation; I'm glad there's a garden mode that lets you play with the generative musical gardens as much as you want because I honestly might just use it as background ambience in my day to day life.

I did feel like I was running around like a headless chicken a lot of the time when the game asks to find people but doesn't tell you where they are, and I realise this is to encourage you to talk to people around town but I'm too antisocial and that does not appeal to me. Also the second half of the game is in desperate need of a sprint button.

Nevertheless, the way character stories and backgrounds unfold over the course of the game, the places you go and see, and the themes of measuring personal accountability, environmentalism, community and responsibility are excellently executed.

Loved it
