Charming Small scale game
Clouzy reminds me a lot of slime rancher, but with a different focus. I like the fact that the focus is on temporarily caring for the clouds, rather than keeping a huge farm of them. I think the world and artwork are well made, and I enjoy exploring the world. Exploring is gated behind some progression and the world is not massive so you will find the time to get to know the individual biomes relatively quickly. The art style is the strength of Clouzy, but the animations (character animation is about one of the only "truly animated" models in the game since the clouds can be squish and stretch animated) is a bit weaker than it could be. That said, this is a very minor gripe because the game is a simple independant project. I think this game has a pretty good amount of depth for what it is, but it is not going to be a game that gets you into spreadsheets. You will have to do a bit of inventory management at times. You can customize your character, and you do unlock other customizations as you play. Kudos to the developers for some various options. I did not expect to see a headscarf option for a character customization but it nice to see that it was available for players who want to use it Overall, if you like slime rancher, I think you will get some fun out of this. I got this game on sale and i feel like it was worth what I paid though even at the full price, at least in the USA it is cheaper than getting a meal out nowadays. (I cannot remember the sale price) and I will need to play more since I still have things to do. I think that once you have beat this game once, you probably will not feel a strong need to play an entirely new playthrough from what I have seen thus far. I am glad I gave this game a chance, and I am glad that this team made the effort to make this game. I like supporting independant game developers and releasing the game on GoG is a good will gesture in my opinion.
