Note: I still have to beat the game, but my thoughts so far:
So far so GREAT, but I did not expect anything less after modern classic Milkmaid of the Milky Way.
Contemplative storyline dotted with lighthearted humor, minimalistic yet inspired graphics, with a fantastic scope and a slightly melancholic touch make this a very different sort of adventure than the usual Lucasarts/Sierra-apery.
I loved the bracelet mechanic, and it is used sparingly, not as a gimmick. The rings aligning is simple yet brilliantly executed. It's the Force, but not as a superpower. Special shout-out to the music, which gives the whole thing the necessary scope of otherworldliness.
The only wrinkle for me personally was a recurring bug using Mouse & Keyboard: every so often the controls would stop working. No freeze-up, as Esc and mouse still works. I needed to reload a checkpoint and make sure I don't trigger the same bug again. This was annoying, but not game breaking at any point.
Anyway, hope I get to finish it soon!
