i love the game's visuals and the little bit of the story i've seen so far; but heres the reason why i havent played all the way through yet:
for one, even though the game is meant to be relaxing, the boat goes too slowly even for that- it felt like i was pressing the boat through really thick mud instead of water.
the other reason, is because there should be a simple pause functionality. I pressed escape to pause, then the main menu loaded. thinking this was a pause screen, i hit escape again to un-pause it, but the game simply closed.
EDIT:
turns out, i wasnt even that far from the end anyways. game is too short. i want more like this. :)
