I did not like this as much as I thought I would.
Don't get me wrong the art is stellar, the world building interesting and the ambiance immersive. There are surprises all along and you never know what is next. The mechanics are unique and the ideas are very well executed.

But the whole thing felt a bit empty and boring to me and I needed to do it over 3 sessions because I kept losing interest after some time, which for a game you finish in 3 hours is a pity. I did not get intense feelings nor was very moved by the game. And I usually am the public for cryptic, chill, unique indie games that are more art than fun.

The end felt inconclusive, not in the way of a good, thought-provoking open ending but more like "so what was the story anyway?". I do not ask of a wordless game to have detailed and precise story. But there was just too little in my eyes to feel invested at all. The end almost felt just like another of those bumps in the roads you encounter all along.

The puzzles are interesting - but they can be tedious, not because they are super hard but they may require walking distances just a bit too long, doing actions just a bit too slow... And while they do make you think just enough, they rarely felt satisfying to solve.

So I would say this is a 65% recommandation from me. It's good, and I liked it, but not as much as I'd hoped and it did not have the same effect on me than it did other people.
