Loved this game. The art style is amazing and the puzzles are very enjoyable and creative, if a little confusing at times. The story is really good. It's written in a way that connects the player with the protagonist in a way that not many games utilise. As for the secondary characters, most of them are alright. Personally, the only secondary characters I really cared for were Alula, Calamus and Prototype. Music is brilliant and environment is beautiful. Short game but it's worth the 15AUD.

Some things I didn't like about the game:
- Some puzzles aren't clear on their clues.
- The crafting is very weird at the beginning of the game. Doesn't make much sense why you would be expected to combine some items.
- The game didn't tackle the philosophy of what is or isn't real. Real missed opportunity to ask the question, 'does the reality of an existence depend on what it is to an external being?' Would have fit the game really well.
- While the ending was happy, it wasn't the most satisfying. The game is doom and gloom throughout it's entirety until the last five minutes. Would have liked to see Niko interact with his home world and mother at the end.

8/10
