Where Wind Becomes Quiet

I review this type of game for fun as part of the "walking simulator fan club" but this one was a complete dud. Uninteresting, bland, the puzzles tricky and repetitive, the story ghastly. Neh.

Incredibly disappointing game. The localization is really really bad for English speakers. Half of the dialogue doesn't make sense to the point where it's kind of hard to figure out what's going on. The voice acting (specifically the male voice acting) is really awkward and stilted. The game is FULL of invisible walls that halt your movement for no discernible reason, Also, it's very easy to wander outside the bound of the game and end up in places you're not supposed to be or falling off the map entirely. A lot of the direction of the game seems arbitrary and like you have no real reason to push forward, nor is there a next logical place to go. The game is also very buggy. The physics cause things to jump around or shake and I ran into a lot of weird glitches - like, for some reason, the first few times I tried to load this game up, my character was just constantly jumping?? Not sure why that happened. Not sure why it stopped happening. I would, unfortunately, avoid this game unless a LOT of work was put into revamping the English dialogue localization, reworking the maps, and fixing the bugs. That, or just keep an eye out for the developers next game, where hopefully they learn from these mistakes!
