I had a lot of fun playing through this.
Maybe this game is a "waling simulator", but honestly it just contributes to the pace the game was intended to have.
I enjoyed going through the detailed environments, immersing myself in the world-building done so far (which is expanded on in a sort of epilogue short story the developers linked in a Steam announcement), and the little elements of mystery were also nice. In fact it was a mystery up until the end. Although the reveal wasn't very revealing, upon reflection I realized what's actually shocking is the lengths gone through by the physical antagonist. I won't spoil that, just keep it in mind if you play the game or have already played it.
And there were two things funny about this game and how I ended up deciding to review it.
First, I had no idea Roger Clark was voicing the main protagonist when I bought this game. A few minutes in, a little confused by the widely different accent, I was like, "Wait. Is this Arthur Morgan?" And it was. About ten minutes in I was so convinced I finally just paused the game and Googled it to confirm. I just initially bought this game because of the Sci-Fi, honestly.
The second funny thing is I completely forgot to review this game for several months. The reason why I ended up remembering to write one is that Fallen Leaf actually responded to some comment on some post responding to someone unhappy with the post-release development pace. It was a little weird, especially since I had completely forgotten about it and this so happens to be a time where recent reviews are "mixed". But really I find it hilarious more than anything. This reminds me, I should probably write a few reviews for a couple other games....
Oh! Yeah. Overall 9/10. I suppose the writing could've been done better overall, but obviously they put a lot of work into the atmosphere. That plus the environments and the voice acting are bulking this score up quite a bit.
