reminds me of the early 2000s when museums would develop these virtual pets that kids could interact with. Janky, limited in appeal, but even as an abstraction of relationships it’s still compelling if not even meaningful and revealing.

If the game had more interactive systems (limited by the hardware and the tortuous game design), this would be amazing. A more ambitious free climbing system like BOTW/TOTK and less “move object from here to here” puzzles would really boost this.
