This was a pretty indie walking simulator game with pretty environments, nice music, and nice character models. I enjoyed running around as Wolf and seeing all of the different animals I could become, but I feel like my praise of the game ends there (and believe me when I say, a pretty art walking sim is right up my ally, I should have adored this game.) Usually interesting/compelling stories are pretty important in games of this nature, and I found that the story of this game fell pretty flat. The 'twist' was... predictable, to say the least. I didn't find the story particularly compelling or emotional, but hey, props for having a strong, non-persecuted lesbian main character. It was a nice surprise and the representation didn't feel performative. The spirit guide narration in English is not good (at all) and a lot of the lines are delivered as if the VA didn't know the context in which they would be given, some of them have completely the wrong tone or feel pieced together from different sentences. Truly weird, and definitely makes the mood kinda strange in some places. The saving grace, of course, is that you can turn off the spirit guide voice, but this really isn't exactly a solution. Glitches aplenty, prepare to be seeing outside of the map fairly frequently, and restarting from checkpoint just as much. I lost count of the amount of times I would get caught on a piece of the environment and not be able to move or do anything but restart from checkpoint. A number of the relics didn't spawn for me, and a number of completed achievements wouldn't register with GOG (this seems to be an issue on the steam version, too) which made it an extremely frustrating experience. The developers responded to a steam thread about this, saying they're working on it in 2019, but apparently it was never resolved. Overall, clearly a labor of love, but definitely not worth the pricepoint. I received this as a gift but could I choose again, would probably ask for something else.
