I don't know what else to say. Everything about this game is jaw-dropping. The art, the story, the characters... What a testament to their narrative, that you become so connected to a narratively muted main character and her sword companion, while only able to piece together the story through context, inference, and unreliable narration from the characters you encounter. the combat was admittedly difficult for me to grasp (I'm terrible at strategy), but even I was able to muddle through somehow. if I had more a mind for it, I'm sure I would have found it a thrilling system. my own limitations meant that I found them intriguing, but I still struggled. it's a thought provoking and moving game, and should stand as testament to the potential and power of video games as a narrative art form.
