It has come to my attention via the dev log here that reviews on Itch are private, one-way conduits to creators! As such, I'm reposting my review here. I've since edited it to reflect the update Cezar published on 24 Aug.
An evocative and relaxing game. I'm new to solo games, so forgive any lack of conventional knowledge. So far, I greatly enjoyed exploring, crafting, and reflecting. I had some time to spend tonight, so this may be a bit long. TL;DR — 2 thumbs up, and more if I can remember where I put my spares.
The intro, gameplay examples, and the rules evoke tranquility. Given the contemplative nature of the game and the clear emphasis on envisioning (I think the term is used 30+ times), I suggest preparing materials for journaling alongside what the booklet recommends. The layout and imagery match the game's theme (calm and pretty). Subjects proceed logically. Rolling tables function intuitively. (If you have trouble on the larger ones: first role the black/horizontal die for a category, then roll again for the specific/vertical result.) Timely play excerpts do away with most potential ambiguity. I also appreciated the full gameplay example, which you can find as a post in the game's development log here on Itch.
An earlier version of this comment suggested hyperlinking or otherwise providing easy navigation between tables—Cezar was kind enough to respond to this feedback quickly, and the instructions are better than ever. I had no issues hitting the ground running with this ruleset, uncovering the secrets of my personal Ayera.
And run I did. The map-generating hex flower engine gives the world a sense of continuity without taking away the possibility of wild new landscapes down the line. The exploration process reminded me of the weeks I spent many years ago, rolling Minecraft seeds and marveling at impossible combinations. The dice generate settlements and NPCs often enough that traveling to them to offer your services can be an easy and functionally endless goal. The tabular appendices at the end of the booklet help make each entity interesting. For environmental character, the Peril oracle creates gentle tension, giving the world a feeling of power and danger to be respected without resorting to violence. The Opportunity mechanic provides the positive flipside. You never get hurt in Ayera. At most, some materials are altered.
The act of gathering, keeping in mind the values of our setting, was meditative. I had fun generating and situating ingredients within my world, and imagining how to respectfully interact with them. After collecting my scraps, I was jazzed to actually make something. I've never seen anything like this nifty tetrominos system, and like the hex flower, its simplicity belied its ability to capture my imagination. Working and finessing my materials into place to complete my project was just challenging enough to be interesting without being taxing. I completed my project after 2 journeys. For my advancement activities, I shared some stories around a campfire and had a bittersweet heart-to-heart learning the life story of a cautious blacksmith. The concept of being rewarded with scenes of communal bonding really shines here. I intend to work on a personal project next. I like that you can design the shape of your project to be as difficult or as easy as you want.
An earlier version of this comment asked for a couple clarifications at this point, and Cezar was kind enough to clear those up for me. The game itself has also been tuned a bit regarding clarity. So those are no longer relevant.
