Fe

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Summary

Fe is a new type of platform adventure where the story is up to you to discover, without handholding, told wordlessly through the discoveries you make during gameplay.

Run, climb, and glide your way through a dark Nordic forest and explore its living, breathing ecosystem filled with secrets and mystical creatures.

At the heart of the experience is a tactile, analogue song mechanic that allows you to communicate and speak to every living thing in the forest.

Learn a diverse array of animal cries that allow you to befriend or manipulate any creature - even plants. Have birds guide you, bears fight for you and have plants grow berries that help you overcome the Silent Ones.

Become Fe and discover a world that you will never want to leave.

Storyline

The player controls Fe, a fox-like creature within a forest that is highly responsive to the songs of the creatures and plants within it. The forest creatures are being attacked by entities called the Silent Ones for unknown reasons that threaten the forest's wildlife. Fe is able to sing to other creatures and objects as to gain their help. These creatures can teach Fe a new song which gives the fox additional abilities through the forest, such as activating a flower that acts as a jump-pad to launch Fe to higher locations and explore more of the world.

Fe was okay. Gameplay-wise, it didn’t have quite enough separating it from other 3D platformers to be memorable, so it needed a strong storyFe was okay. Gameplay-wise, it didn’t have quite enough separating it from other 3D platformers to be memorable, so it needed a strong story to pull it through—but the story was so obscure and vague as to be totally opaque to me. After I beat it I was left with a vague impression of different color foxes, aliens (probably), and crystals. Well, cool, but………huh?

Game looks beautiful and majestic, abilities are nothing too extraordinary and some of them are useless. The world is big, more than it shouldGame looks beautiful and majestic, abilities are nothing too extraordinary and some of them are useless. The world is big, more than it should sometimes and you can get lost because of that. But it is a pretty short game with no dialogue and very simple mechanics, it's worth a trial.

It has a charm despite simple graphics and the animals and main character are warm and characterful.Once finished there is the added feature of discovering collectibles and this is where the game falls down for me. There are 75 gems, 12 helmets and myriad "billboards" which are activated via a sound from your character. The developers felt no shame in making you rotate continually around the map a few times just to reach a couple of these gems and, for me, Fé outstayed it's welcome soon into the end game.

But that requires brilliant and focused design, which Fe... lacks. The result is you never have much idea of what the story is, and thus what the point of anything is.Some abilities, like tree climbing, are used to their full potential and enable lots of fun exploration. Others feel like gimmicks.Back tracking starts to feel like a chore very quickly. Especially since there's no in-game map.Despite the outward charm, and a few great moments, Fe feels a bit soulless.

A charming metroidvania with a disappointingly bland story and poor stealth segments. Its simple gameplay is relaxing but I longed for more tension and a sense of grand adventure that Fe lacks.
