Wow the level of polish and atmosphere on display here is off the charts.
I'm just so sad that it turned out to be a "getting over it" style platformer. Maybe I just suck at games these days but the second I fell off the moving platforms after I climbed up a little I just instantly lost interest in the game. I hoped with all my heart the little fire/urn things were checkpoints that I could reset to but I couldn't find an option for this. Genuinely sad that I couldn't keep playing this beautiful game because it's just NOT my kind of thing.
The visuals are without a doubt amazing, every inch of the world and the character looks great from the models to the environment to the effects.
The music and sound effects are so so good. Instantly as soon as I loaded into the world I was like "ugh feels in my heart" and was immediately reminded of the game Journey.
From what I played the game was really responsive and finding the dash was cool (probably required?) I just didn't get very far at all because I can't stomach these types of climber games.I thought it might have been a really cool metroidvania when I got the dash as it gave me those vibes... but alas.
Please add some noob protection/checkpoints for people like me. I really wanted to play this and get the full experience but I just don't have the time for games that punish you so badly for falling off a platform.
