I REMEMBER THIS STORY FROM WHEN I WAS A KID. So I was very excited to play this!! And you didn't disappoint at all! What wonderfully poetic writing, and the voice actor did such an amazing job putting so much emotion behind all the words. The whole composition of everything, from the slowly moving sprite always there ahead of you, always walking, never looking back, and the gentle lull of the music as Orpheus expresses all of his fears and heartfelt thoughts. It was incredibly poignant, and I was left the whole time with this... not sure how to describe... visceral feeling of longing tinged with fear for what could possibly come???? Unsure. But it certainly did a number on my mind and heart by the time I got to the end.
LOOOOVE the end. How we're just. Left there. Wondering. Unsure. Left to interpret things either how we hope or how we fear. And we can just see Orpheus's face for the first time. And all the things he'd been saying during the walk written upon his face and you just hope hope HOPE that things could somehow have all worked out and he could somehow be made to smile and made to achieve his heart's desire.
Just absolutely lovely and really moving. A wonderful experience and a delightful look into this story, turning it into a tangible experience rather than something we simply read about from a detached third-person perspective. Really fantastic job!! 🥰💕
