👍
- It's about climbing
- Visually impressive, lots of work have been done. Art style is great.
- The whole concept and the universe is really interesting
- Excellent sound-design and ambient music
- A pleasant hike, relaxing and refreshing
👎
- (❗spoiler❗) How it's possible to make a game about climbing and then choosing not to let the players actually reach the top by themselves, it's beyond me... it's like the whole point of climbing. The moment you ride an "elevator" to the top, the game just fell flat to me.
- Gameplay feels a bit too automatic and a little shallow because of it
- There is next to no challenge at all, for a climbing game it's a bit disappointing
- Despite the many good ideas and the build-up through the writing, the story was not really satisfactory. And the big obvious metaphor could have use more nuance and subtlety.
- Overall it's just too short. The last part of the game felt rushed, and it ends too early.
