Haven

TL:DR The team's obssession with interrupting gameplay with dialogue kills the pacing, and, as another reviewer said, this should have been made into a VN instead (although the dialogue would still have to be changed because it's not good enough on its own to carry the game) The team definitely put a lot of care and love into creating Yu and Kay, and you can feel it, from the cute loading screen drawings that depict the characters in events from day to day life to the fantastic and intimate voice acting. However, where the team did not put as much thought into was pacing. In the studios previous work, Furi, expositionary dialogue was limited to these walking sections in between the frenetic boss fights and it was kept brief and vague to service the story, while also keeping the pacing feeling natural and in tone with it being a boss rush game. Haven, on the other hand, went all out on it, explaining things in excruciating detail while failing to stimulate your imagination like a good book would. Not only that, but it also interrupts your gameplay quite frequently and abruptly to the point where you spend more time reading than actually exploring this deserted planet. While the gameplay is not very interesting, it still feels off when control gets taken away from you because Kay has to go on a raving monologue about a plant. P.S. The OST is fantastic and I would highly recommend getting it on Bandcamp

The story, characters and dialogs are amazing which is clearly the focus of the game. I feel that every gameplay element is embeded into the story to the fullest extent. Nothing feels out of place the music is fantastic and accomodates the whole game very well.

...until developers made a clumsy low-quality retroactive attempt to make it appealing for 'minorities'. Before that it was quite solid positive story about an (almost) married couple on top of the exotic and colorful alien planet decorations.

"Play a relatable couple in an intimate relationship, treated with maturity" Yeah, a mature intimate story where your characters sleep clothed and make love in their underwear. It's time that video game (and americans) become a little bit more mature and stop fearing nude bodies when excessive violence is tolerated. Unforgivable for a game that pretend to follow a couple of lover in their intimity with maturity.
