The first time I played through this game, I thought it was a beautiful game with great ambiance but overpriced. I decided to play through it a second time because of how quick of a game it is, but I went into with a different mindset. I didn't think of it as a walking simulator. I didn't think of it as a poem. Heck, I didn't even think of it as a game. Instead I went into it as a meditation and an experience and that makes ALL the difference. Is this game? In a very loose sense, yes. But don't play it as if it's a game. You'll be disappointed. Play it to look at the details see when the flowers you plant open. Pay attention to how the seeds from the trees are different. If you go into this as an experience instead of as a game, you'll enjoy it more.

A cute, symbol-filled and peaceful experience of a game. The puzzles are easy enough to follow along with, a few of the stray achievements can be gotten on accident, while others require clues and devotion to pull off. I found the game to be serene and harmonious in its elements, and had no problems with what it felt like nor how it presented itself. It was a beautiful, soft and gentle experience.

I dig things that are more of an artistic experience than a game. A short look through my reviews will show that to be true. That's not the problem here. The problem is it's a broken, buggy POS that I don't understand and have no desire to try and understand.

Yeah so this game bricked itself so hard that re-installing didn't even fix it and I didn't even get past the first puzzle. This is really disappointing as I really enjoyed the creator's other games. It really shows that this was one of his first ones and I'm annoyed I can't even play it.
