I went into this game completely blind (I didn't even know what genre this game was when I bought it and just remembered Yarny from E3) and I love that this game hits that wonderful sweet spot of being both heartwarming and melancholy. There's just such a bittersweet nature to this game's framing device being this sweet little Scandinavian nana and her funny yarn friend reliving memories that were lost both on accident and intentionally. Some are good. Some are very tragic. And always, those violins are following you and you feel like crying while looking at nature's beauty.

While most of the game's strength lies in its theming, the gameplay itself is alright. It's short (I beat the game in about 3 hours) but also feels as long as it's supposed to be and never overstays its welcome. The puzzle platforming and movement isn't as fine-tuned as I'd want it to be, but it's an indie studio so I'm not going to judge.

I am going to judge them for several of the later puzzles feeling pretty trial and error. Shout-out to the time I was climbing a mountain and died ten times because I didn't know how the game wanted me to dodge the rocks and, the most grievous puzzle of all, that scrap metal magnet crane puzzle where you meticulously stomp on the crane's controls as it laboriously carries an engine block. Sorry Yarny, but as charming as you are, those parts sucked.
