Unpetrified: Echoes of Nature

This game really grew on me. I love that the storytelling is all in the visuals. This game was described to me as an emotional tale before playing, and I didn't believe it at first. But nearing the end, I really felt it hit home. It's a great game to sit down and relax with. Also like how wel it runs on Steam Deck. Cheers to the Devs for putting so much love into crafting this title.

Of course I am biased, but I trully love what we have created with Unpetrified. It was not always like this, there were ups and downs in the development for things like game mechanics, story, and the emotional impact. The final product is a good mix of strong story moments, interesting puzzles, an adorable fox companion and of course a lovable main character :-)

You awaken as golem in an unknown world, which you'll need to explore to uncover your past. On this journey you'll meet new friends and grow with them. The general plot gets mirrored in the gameplay: The player is rewarded for exploration in this lush and beautiful world and gets rewarded the joy of exploring itself. As soon as the player leaves the tutorial section and the world starts to open up, the game lures you in with cleverly placed vistas and smart camerawork, which hint at future encounters and mysteries, a little bit like the player guiding in Breath of the Wild. This kindles the urge to explore and meet all of the faura and flora, which are another highlight of the game. The animals and the interactions with your surrondings are very cutely designed. Mixed with the minimalist UI you can get yourself immersed in this beautiful world and it's lore, so that you slowly unravel the mystery of your past. An often neglected part of gamedesign is movement. So it pleases me to say, that the rolling ability is very fun and well designed. As I entered the grassfields I passed some time just racing around and doing fun jumps Tony Hawk-style. The puzzles start out easy but get more and more involved the further you play and more gameplaysystems are introduced to the game, which then are neatly combined to pose greater challenges. Although the puzzles remain on the fair and approachable side and don't ramp up too much in difficulty. My only gripe so far is the draw distance, respectively object pop-in which happens infrequently in wide and open areas. But this is a negible criticism. In summary, I wouldn't excactly classify the game as a pure walking-sim and more of a puzzle adventure with cool narrative design and lore which needs to be uncovered by the player through observation, like in From Software games. All in all a very well made first game, by a small but passionate indie-development team!

[h3] 操作するゴーレムも、出てくる動物も可愛い！ [/h3] 動植物にパワーをもらいながら、探しものや謎解きをするお散歩ゲームです。タイトルにある通り、自然保護がテーマのゲームです。多分。 パズルを解くために使うエネルギーを近くに咲いているお花や近くをお散歩している動物からもらえるのが”自然を大切に”というテーマ性をより強くしているように感じました。 言語依存はメニュー画面と、新たにできるようになったことがあるときに出てくる説明のみ。日本語訳はやったところまでだと特に大きな問題はありませんでした。 リリース前の現時点ではバグがちょいちょいあります。例えばスキルが使えなくなる、謎解きギミック等のオブジェクトが全て消失する、壁のすり抜け等...。基本的に一度トップ画面に戻り際ロードすることで解決しています。 ゴーレムがシンプルながらに表情を持ち、それが結構ホッコリできるのでお散歩探し物ゲームが好きな方は是非。

[quote] [h1]石之心绽生命花旅，与萌兽共解自然谜题[/h1] 《Unpetrified：自然回响》是一款探索自然题材的解谜冒险游戏。在游戏中，玩家将化身为一尊从沉睡中苏醒的石制魔像，在灵动小狐狸的陪伴下，踏上一段修复自然、唤醒生命的情感旅程。整个世界仿佛在等待你的到来——从葱郁森林到荒芜遗迹，每一处风景都无缝衔接，充满生机。而你走过的痕迹，会在魔像背上绽放为绚烂花朵，记录着每一步的成长。 不过初始只有你孤身一人，并没有小狐狸的陪伴，但是你的路途并不孤单，你会遇见形形色色的可爱动物。机灵的松鼠、优雅的孔雀、呆萌可爱的兔兔，甚至憨厚的犰狳，它们不仅是世界的点缀，更会在关键时刻给予你帮助。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3604338350 因为你解谜开机关是需要消耗能量，你需要在可互动的花花草草以及动物身边释放波纹来补给能量。在游戏中并没有跟你标注哪些是可以互动的元素，不过可以用蝴蝶探索功能，让蝴蝶帮你寻找可互动物，这些互动物有的跟收集有关、有的跟隐藏成就有关，错过了可能就要重新开游戏再去寻找。例如集齐葱茏森林中所有迷路的棕色小兔并助其归家，即可解锁“兔子家族团聚”成就；此外，每张地图还有区域生态罗盘收集（通过与区域内所有种类的动植物互动），集齐亦可解锁对应成就。 除了收集，本作另一大核心玩法就是解谜，你需要解开自然谜题，激活古老的能量之源，让枯萎的土地重焕生机。随着剧情推进，谜题也会变得比较复杂，有的可能需要你使用魔像的滚滚技能撞碎破裂的墙，也有的需要你反复激活开关让线路连通。不过，解谜深度总体适中，整体玩下来给我的感觉像是带了一点点解谜元素的步行模拟器。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3604338121 除此之外，魔像还有情绪，情绪低落的时候还不能用滚滚技能，情绪还会影响周围环境，比如低落的时候伴随绵绵细雨。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3604338170 在美术风格上，游戏用温暖明亮的色彩构筑了一个既梦幻又真实的天地，远观之下有着不错的视觉吸引力，但贴图和模型在近处观察时细节略有不足。搭配上悠扬的管弦乐，每一次探索都如同漫步在童话绘本中。 总的来说，本作属于是一款画面尚可，玩法轻松的解谜游戏。它适合喜爱温暖题材与步行模拟游戏的玩家，不过，考虑到其相对核心的玩法深度，目前的定价或许需要玩家根据自身对“氛围体验”的看重程度来衡量（我觉得是有点点小贵的，毕竟都-25%了，还要100+RMB）。 [quote] 游玩百态，将游玩心得用汉语化作玩家的指明灯，(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402408/]点击这里关注汉化语录~[/url] 如果喜欢这个评测，请点个赞让更多人看见 [/quote] [/quote]

[b]Une très belle découverte.[/b] Ce jeu nous fait parcourir un monde magnifique et mignon. Pas de violence, pas de stress : juste un moment contemplatif ponctué de petites énigmes. J’ai rencontré un léger bug au moment de me mettre en boule pour la première fois, mais rien de gênant. On sent que l’ensemble est bien maîtrisé. Un jeu simple, mais efficace dans ce qu’il propose. Voici la vidéo gameplay (désolé, j’ai eu un peu de peine à régler le son de la musique au début 😅) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAuPq4xjR7o&t=1570s

This is one of few games without guns and violence. The worlds are really beatiful and fun to explore. Game controls are easy to use even if I play only with keyboard and mouse.

Wow. This game feels like a painting that moves. The colors, the music, the way the Fox looks at you, its all so beautiful. I spent way too long just walking around because I didn’t want to rush it. Its emotional without being cheesy, and the collectibles actually matter. If you love games that make you feel something, play this. Seriously.

Perhaps I am biased, but I absolutely love this game!

Very cute game where you solve puzzles and try to find all the different animals and plants and rebuild old stone structures. I'm enjoying it, it's relaxing and a good way to wind down.
