This game is small, has it's problems gameplay wise, including the combat being basically nonexistent and the puzzle mechanics easily solvableThis game is small, has it's problems gameplay wise, including the combat being basically nonexistent and the puzzle mechanics easily solvable by a 6 year old. Has a few bugs, a few textures look bad and the facial expressions are a mess.BUT if you can ignore all that, what you are presented with is an amazing artistic drive with colourful sights, charming animals, sunlight looking through the cracks of the mighty tower you are trying to climb while listening to an amazing orchestra soundtrack with stunning timing to make it all a spiritual journey I'd never thought I would be faced with in this game.Also loved the metaphors and philosophical focus that leaves us room to make our own understanding of the story behind Toren.All in all, the game should've been cheaper but I still recommend you to try this 2-4h gameplay.

What gameplay there is, isn't conceptually bad, but it's crippled by absolutely awful unresponsive animation-driven character controls. The camera usually works against you, and it's not always obvious what bits of the scenery are navigable.The game feels more like a student project than a professional release, and I'm not just talking about the game's microscopic length. All the student game tropes are here, most obviously a massive emphasis on boring, slow "arty" bits filled with pretentious, meaningless mystical twaddle. It honestly feels like a bunch of students just played ICO and then went off to bang this out as their finals project.

The bad : this game is short (2 hours), no replayability (no choice).The decent : graphics, they get the job done, even a bit more sinceThe bad : this game is short (2 hours), no replayability (no choice).The decent : graphics, they get the job done, even a bit more since they fit the mood.The good : ambiance, story, pad support (pc alright), music.Rant : finishing this game was pleasant. It's short but cheaper (during sales) than going see a movie.

Because it's such a small game, there isn't all that much to it; it's not a game with something for everyone. Still, even if you're interested, remember that the game is only two hours long, even though it's a very focused two hours, some people may feel they have overpaid for the amount of content they are given.
