it is rare that a game like this gets made nowadays. a game that is really huge, totally filled to the brim with secrets, and yet so small and personal. it makes me happy to see these same characters and places from nifflas's older games, re-imagined in a story about grappling with personal demons. it's a heartfelt and real story, about real fears.

the game itself is beautiful and the movement tech that you can do is incredible. you'd think this would be a "metroidvania" but it's not, and it's better for it. it just feels so good to move around, to do little platforming puzzles and take in the gorgeous scenery.
