So many views within this game are genuine wallpaper material. I was recommended this game by a couple friends, and seeing as it was quite short I gave it a go. And I can confidently say it was an incredible recommendation, and despite it only taking me roughly 4 hours to beat, it is easily more memorable and impactful than a lot of 20-30 hour titles I've played, despite it ultimately being a walking simulator. The first point I'd like to mention is the graphics. The stylized look of the game paired with the gorgeous lighting make the game really stand out from the crowd. I could honestly spend hours walking through these environments and always find it relaxing. And whilst a lot of the game can be relaxing, the game can easily take a tonal turn. Hell, the game starts off with a massive tonal shift before you've even gotten to the main course. The game is an exceptional example of tone through ambience and setting, and a first playthrough is sure to be a thrilling ride. Though I will say, the ending felt mildly underwhelming for everything that happened - though that very well could be the intention. The performances from the voice actors for Henry and Delilah also deliver stellar performances which really put you in the right mood for the events of the game, and even to this day lines from key points still stick with me. The soundtrack although simplistic on analysis is still brilliant at getting you in the right headspace. I often find myself playing some of the tracks whenever I see a sunset out on a walk. It's a short but brilliant experience that I definitely recommend.

Really compelling, while I'm a little late to the party in terms of discussing this game. I think it still holds up extremely well due to the visual aesthetic of the game. Additionally, the gameplay is still quite unique and is something I would love to see done again. I love hiking, so naturally I greatly enjoyed the game being purely about navigation of the world they create for you. However, regardless of my personal interest in nature, this aspect still puts quite a heavy load on both the atmosphere and story to keep you engaged, and I think they both do that spectacularly. The writing for the main characters, I would say, takes a second to really get going, but I think once you're there, it does become this comfort to speak with Delilah, especially as the game goes along. I really enjoyed my time with this game despite its brevity, as it wraps up well and leaves you wanting more. Can't wait to see what the studio does next!

Прикольная игра на вечер Ещё из хорошего могу отметить вайбовую музыку и красивый стиль графики

10/10

Fantastic game with an interesting story and lovely artstyle. Loved using the map to navigate the world and listening to the voice acting. I quite like how this game (kinda spoiler) deprives the player of certain things happening and knowing a few things.

Excelente juego con una atmósfera increíble! La historia te envuelve tanto que llegas a un punto en que simplemente se te olvida que es un juego, el desarrollo de los personajes es muy bueno, la ambientación musical impecable! Uno de los mejores juegos que he tenido la oportunidad de experimentar al 100%.
