Ok let me start off with the fact I got this game as part of a bundle and it worked out at around 3 euro. So for that price it was an absolute steal, worth every penny. But at full price? Hard pass.

A lot of love went into this game; the storyline, the artwork, the voice acting, the music - all fantastic! But it just feels like the developers had to rush it and it feels a bit unfinished? The combat and contact hits are quite clunky and there's some annoying glitches throughout the game. And the lack of a map made 100% completion too frustrating. Was able to 100% achievements without too much hassle though, there is a handy chapter portal system.

So I'd definitely recommend this game if you can get it on sale, it's a really dark, enjoyable little platformer that deserves more recognition!

The art and the idea of storytelling is very nice.
But there are a few really annoying things...
The hook is REALLY stubborn. Sometimes a few points to hook are very close together, so its tricky to use the right one. And if that would not be enough sometimes the hook just does not work at all. Some rare times I had the same problem with other weapons, too. But the hook is the main problem, since its often very important to use in the right moment.

Then I really wish for a map. The levels are not TOOOO hard, but with this kind of level-art its sometimes hard to remember where exactly you have to climb and fall to reach a mirror.
Wich brings me to another point: you have to find the mirrors to travel. The tricky part is, that you travel back to a level, do whatever you need to do and ...to start looking around again, to find your way back to a mirror, since you can't just leave the level in any other way. REALLY annoying!

And of course there is the no. 1 problem EVERY scripted event (and the game really has some of these) has: they don't fire. It took me some minutes to search everything around the Mermaid-Boss in person to find exactly the spot that starts the script to make her react to me at all. This happens a little bit too often for my taste.

I haven't finished the game yet. I will do still. But with this "finding the mirror"-problem I lost interest already in traveling between levels and finish them 100%.

Yes, I recommend the game still because the Ideas are really nice. But not for the full price (20 Euros at the moment). For the full price it is still far too buggy.
