Beautiful artwork and some nice environmental puzzle-solving partially make up for very basic platforming and a half-baked story. The game took me about 6 hours to complete, which honestly felt perfect as far as its gameplay goes. If it were any longer I feel like this one would overstay its welcome. Very much feels like an indie game meant with kids in mind, though the season-shifting mechanic does keep things interesting and pleasant to look at.

Another highlight of the game is the string quartet-based soundtrack. Incredibly fitting and very beautiful, though I really wish certain tracks would loop. Often times the game will play a track just once and then never again - even if you exit the game and come back. If you’ve got a soundtrack this good, why wouldn’t you feature it more prominently?

The game isn't as polished or fun to explore as something like Ori, and the writing and voice acting isn't quite as strong as The Last Campfire, but I still had a nice time with this cozy little game. It was clearly made with lots of love and passion. If you've got kids, or you're a kid at heart, grab some warm cider and give this one a try.
