For the care and aesthetic design in this game, to think that it was created by a single person is incredible. Everything is lovingly crafted with a distinct and detailed art style. The story is surreal and subtle. Fairy tale-like elements weave a circuitous tale of a boy's progression through life. The puzzle elements are brilliant and the game does a good job of showing you the basics, while leaving many things for you to discover on your own. The associated difficulty curve is just about perfect. Some of the later puzzles are fairly challenging, but there are ample clues if you are looking out for them. The game is nearly perfect and was an absolute joy to play. My only criticism is that there isn't quite enough of it. I finished my playthrough in 2 sessions totalling about 2.5 hours. Considering this was a solo dev effort, I certainly understand the brevity. That said, the clever pacing and structure of the story practically beg another playthrough just to pick up on the pieces you missed the first time around. Fantastic game.
