really great game, probably one of my favorites from what i played so far
first of all, the art direction and atmosphere are excellent. the visual style gave me some vibes of the old game The Neverhood, maybe because of the strange handmade / dreamlike feeling. the world feels weird, charming and a bit unsettling in a very good way
the gameplay is simple, clear and pretty engaging. i also really liked how the game teaches you things naturally. at first you just follow the road and understand how movement works, then you get the compass and slowly understand how the goal system works. the onboarding feels very clean and careful
i finished the game and enjoyed it a lot
my main issue was movement near the end, especially in the forest. sometimes it was a bit annoying that you need to click for every single step. i found that keyboard controls exist, but the tutorial mostly shows mouse, and even with keyboard it still feels like you need to tap a lot. personally i would like to be able to hold a direction and keep walking, at least for longer movement parts
also, i felt the decay theme mostly through the story / narrative, but not so much through the mechanics. it is still there, just maybe more as mood and story than gameplay
overall, really strong entry. beautiful atmosphere, very clean onboarding, and a simple but well-made game structure
