Such a cool and unique mechanic to build a game around- and you get quite a lot with what you pay for. But... You gotta be good with words- or like, very persistent. I think I might just be a little dumb. Also, an interesting story. I should probably finish this game completely to give a better review...
i like the gameplay, dont like the map. Really think it could be great if exploration didnt take so long and needing to find bugs. Also please lower background noise when talking with a character (I HATE WATERFALLS). ALLOW SAVING FROM ANYWHERE PLEASE. Won't finish it cause its not sticking but it was cool
An incredibly unique experience worth trying. But also incredibly annoying to play and look at, so this was a DNF. The first few hours are amazing, but it gets old quickly after that; 20% of the gameplay is checking every single wall for bugs. Can only recommend to wordy people who like riddles and don't mind (awful) classic dungeon crawler movement.
