This game has touched my heart. seriously, I've been so much emotionally involved that for a few days, I lived like if I was actually on that island. the big point of this game in my opinion is the feeling of being stranded. I mean, you are stranded on an island, but the point is that if you start walking, especially if you don't follow the coast, you will be very quickly completely lost. and trust me, if it's not morning, this can become a very big problem. I've been lost in the evening a few times and I've been devoured by anxiety, hoping to find a shelter where to sleep and pass the night. other times I was finishing the water, lost in the middle of an unknown area, without finding any lake nor shelter. one time I've been caught lost by nightfall. I won't forget it as if it happened for real. that time the beast found me too, and I died. yes, because in the middle of all this being stranded and trying to triangulate every time there is the chance to reveal a new piece of map, rather than just running around; you will also have to hurry and worry about hiding yourself every here and there, in order to listen if your heart is beating which means that the beast is near. the problem is that when the heart is beating loud enough to hear it clearly, it's already too late and the beast is too close to avoid it. other than that, the clues are not very linear, excluding the very first couple. many times you will find yourself without any clues of where to go next. with the urgency of having to find a shelter for the night and to don't pass where you've seen the beast the last time. and so you just go randomly to explore a new area of the map, hoping to find something useful. stranded even in the plot.. anyway the story is very intriguing and the island is so beatiful to explore. the atmosphere is very deep, the musics are perfect and used very rarely. most of the time you'll be left alone with your breath, the sound of the sea and the noise of your steps. stranded.
