An absolutely beautiful game both aesthetically and narratively. Unashamedly proud of both the material it draws on from Pinocchio as well as its gameplay design from FromSoft. A great example of "X story but Adult". That it doesn't care about utilising concepts from Pinocchio to make its world makes it at times both hilariously cheesy yet totally earnest and inspiring. The way it adapts the themes of grief, loss, and recovery from the original story comes across as heartfelt and meaningful. Just a fantastically beautiful game with incredibly well crafted environments and polished mechanics. It is quite easily the single best soulslike game not made by FromSoft that I have ever played.
