\u200bThis game had a beautiful story, and when people ask if games can be art, can be examined as serious as literature, this game proves the answer to be yes. It really tackles head-on the theme of the journey being more important than the destination, and I was happy to see all the colorful characters hiking up for their own reason. This fictional national park is brimming with life and possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The circular structure of the island itself allows infinite access points to the destination, while also allowing Claire to circle back, so it doesn’t feel like a chore to go back to the starting area. I noticed several times playing that when I picked one route, I always ended up circling back to where I branched off, allowing me to naturally explore the other path. This reminded me a lot of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, where when you sit on the benches, you can see the area you’ve been to or the area you’re going to. It’s a beautiful motif that was executed wonderfully in this game with the circular structure of the mountain (hill??) itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My only gripe with the game was the camera control. The camera control made it difficult to navigate at times, and I think it would have been better if I had 360 rotation so I could always be positioned behind Claire for easier flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than that, again, this was a beautiful experience and it was recommended to me by another friend. Thank you for making this game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
