soooooo what do i think
this was very weird i got no idea of what this is supposed to be it almost feels like a prototype for something to come but i guess its pretty self contained so i wouldnt wait for that
after playing HC1 and HC2 and taking a little break to continue HC3 because its getting HEAVY i wanted to check out this one and honestly i didnt have that many expectations but i was still some degree of disappointed
its not bad it just feels very incoherent i wish it was more fleshed out and had some clear direction but still its a cool experience ig ig for a 1 hour game
basically as an rpgmaker game the main gimmick is puzzles . obviously and i grew a bit tired of that but i guess those here are ok somehow so yeah didnt care for that too much but since this kind of games tends to be like that they end up relying on vibes or story and well
vibes ? p cool ? it feels very haunting and claustrophobic and sterile and i guess that was the goal and they succeeded in that department
the story . well . im sure this game got a good story a great one even but its left to rot behind some not so explicit lore and disjointed info dumps that make it almost impossible to follow whats going on in the game unless you read a 50 lines reddit post on how this is an impressive tale of grief and depression or whatever
in general terms youre ori (and the blind forest sorry thats what ive been thinking ever since) and he wakes up in a fucking bath and searches for his rosary and it talks ? weird af whatever he encounters some dead bodies and a boy named remiel (sounds like an angel name but i still have no idea if thats supposed to mean that theyre angels) anyway they try to get out together even though remiel is edgy and tsundere i hate him and i wish this was more homoerotic . umh sorry who said that i meant i wanted this to have more background and the only really interesting aspect is FIRST the worldbuilding around it which is yes very subtle and chaotic but it feels almost dystopic to the point that its almost asphyxiating to live in a world like this and SECOND the backstory with oris sister mari who is dead sorry (is this an omori reference this feels very intentional) but it isnt that clear what happened maybe the wiki lore will help me but im honestly not that impressed to read between the lines about a game that couldve been really good but ends up being kind of whatever
i really tried to love this one since i enjoyed HC a lot i can at least say that i still loved the art style every illustration is a joy to see even tho i still dont know what the fuck is up with the violet colors here and there but whatever its a good contrast with the black and white
overall ? pretty forgettable but etherane is great so i will support this and maybe another playthrough will make me like this better
maybe i was too hard on this
i dont hate it i swear it was just whatever
