DEER!
nice game if you want an easy story mode. Nice story, beautiful and gripping animation. BUT no challenge at all, it's just a walking simulator and I only spent 4 hours to complete it. Still glad I played it, but wouldn't pay for it again.
Hidden gem, awesome art & music, difficulty is well-balanced

Great game. Play all the way through the end. Trust me, the end is worth it and it's not terribly long. Sometimes the puzzles get a bit frustrating because sometimes the game just doesn't recognize context dependent events when it should. You really shouldn't need a guide but sometimes you will do the right thing but the game just won't recognize it properly. It's mostly pretty good but there are some frustrating sections. Overall very good and really most people could probably beat it in like 5 hours. Very worth it though.
The game is so cozy and I like the art God, that ending got me good If creativity could speak, this game would be the one to speak. What a world, what graphics, what emotions, what comfort.
Великолепная игра. И поверьте, ей есть чем вас удивить.
Short, simple story of fighting inner demon told with stunning cinematic visual and music. Very straight forward puzzles, easy to solve, the action part is slightly more difficult than I thought.
粗糙，劣质，玩法无聊，动作僵硬，整个游戏最成功的部分是宣传片欺诈。
Great, would recommend.
