I played the game on the PS5 so cannot say anything about performance on PC. The games lives of two tings: - first its story in which the player unravels a community's past with many good and many bad things that happened in the past. It weaves a strong narrative around loss and resilience. In many ways it is a "coming-of-age"-like story for the MC. - second is the atmosphere. The developers create a rich atmosphere of a distopian but still in parts uplifting world. Music/sound and graphic aestetics work well together. Two things that could be a tad improved: - Personally, I would have wished for a bit more of character development. Your choices are limited to conversations but don't appear to have much impact on the game. - The English translation is in parts a bit weird which made it difficult to follow all conversations. At times, this breaks the immersion a bit which is a pity. - The level design is nice and atmospherically great but the games is a tad too easy. There was no quest or facility where I needed to think hard or consult the internet. The same goes for the components you need to progress the game. They are quite abundent and towards the end it feels a bit pointless to keep picking up resources. Summary: a nice game for a few days or a week of casual gaming.
This game is a small gem. Gameplay is intuitive, the background story is rich and the atmosphere is very calming. The puzzles are somewhat repetitive (identify plants and locations on the map) but nevertheless entertaining and solving them is very satisfying. It is the perfect game for a rainy weekend day.
