Ok so kinda a dumb review to backseat develop I guess but I couldn't help think bout games and their budgets during playing this. I think that this game's ambitions are hampered by what seems to be a sizable but still small team operating on a small budget. I think it's too loose and not interesting enough as much as it wants to be. I wish the game was more focused, more set pieces and grand reveals rather than finding a bunch of shit to pick up and connecting story pieces on a menu. I like what's here it's just not super engaging. Really good art and music.

Another weird thing, is this one's real hard to put down and pick back up. The last time I played it was only 3 days after playing it last, and I ended up having to run around the village for about 20 minutes to find what I was looking for just to get my bearings. I'm not good at maps anyways! And then I couldn't really piece together the ending. I knew I needed to do something in the dam, but I last saw the dam about a week before and spent another probably ~30 minutes looking for it? Anyways, I watched the ending on YouTube.
