A subtle game. You play the mother of a family of Lynxes attempting to raise her pups in an unforgiving and unfriendly environment. Do not be fooled, however. This is not an animal simulator. It is not simply running around as a cat for the sake of being a cat. This is a story. It is a subtle story who’s plot points are not dramatic and which will not leave you with some great musings on humanity, but will simply leave you with a profound peace and with some strange ethereal feeling. It is a slow game, and shouldn’t be played by those looking for an action packed, story-driven adventure. It is a game about life itself. The mechanics are quite fun and never feel old, and the game moves you, so long as you play at a decent pace, through its beautiful world without ever feeling stagnant. Speaking of, the art style in this game is absolutely magnificent. Just watching a trailer for it you should be able to get a feel for why it feels so magical. The entire experience gives the player the feeling of walking through a strange forest in a dream, but never wanting to wake up for all its natural beauty. Overall, a truly poignant game that, especially given how cheap it is, is well worth a play.
