The Bridge to Yesterday

Very charming little adventure with great direction from start to finish. Both exploration and combat are quite simple, but the cohesiveness of the world and the characters manage to still make it feel quite satisfying. Also. Bouncy critters

For an indie game and free this has some neat concepts. There are some downsides: - The puzzles. You have 3-4 stones you have to rotate left or right, with different symbols on them. There are no hints as to what the solution is, or how to solve it. It is trial and Error. - You have to collect stone, wood, bones and berries to upgrade your camp. Some of these resources are absurdly scarce. I understand the need for game balancing, but there is a point where the game is overbalanced against you. - Eating items in the wilderness. You can eat mushrooms and other items in the wilderness to regain health after combat. How ever if you are at full health, you just consume what ever. And these do not repopulate. Be nice if the game refused, or if they repopulated. - Monsters. You fight all these weak monsters, and while they can kill you, you can do pretty good against you. Next thing you know you are in a boss battle with no weapon or health improvements. And the boss follows you every where you go. While this game has some great ideas, it could be allot better if the above mentions items were fixed. I stopped playing when I got to the second puzzle where you had to cross a bridge, as there is no hints or solutions.
