2022 / 13th Completed Game

6.3 hours

A beautifully crafted puzzle game - feels like Abzu mixed with (low-key) Myst :P !
The puzzles are for the most part fun to solve, some have rather abstract solutions which is not a bad thing at all! Sometimes these same puzzles are reused in a "re-skinned" way, but overall I had a blast thinking about the solutions! The story tho… I don't know why but I tend to play games nowadays, where the story starts off really good, then towards the end of the game it gets sloppy - take Draugen for example…
I felt something like this here as well, since the original problem - the disappearance of our husband - left a mysterious trail behind, and just like in Abzu we were thrown into a world populated by an unknown civilization… As I progressed further into the story, more and more questions got in my head, but in the end, I only got an answer for some of them. I really disliked the way the achievement system was distributed - for an achievement you need to get every possible interaction to your log, however, I missed one because I didn't "inspect" the object before solving an easy puzzle…
Overall I had fun exploring the island and thinking about a possible solution, however I quite disliked the "Lovecraftian" ending we actually got.
