Minute of Islands

I just finished Minute of Islands and I need a cuddle, not just for me but my inner child that grew up watching my mother do it all and thinking that was the norm and it wasn't. As I grew up I thought doing it all meant you're the hero, the one who people can count on and rely on, so I did it all too. Now here I sit an adult playing this wonderfully sad and beautiful game remembering the island my mother made of herself that lead me to make my own and how many memories I didn't get to make with her because we both neglected ourselves in the process. The poison of the inner dialogue creeping in at every turn like the fog, the self-doubt, the mistreatment and disbelief that I am not good enough was something I didn't think a game would make me remember after all the work I've done, but, here I sit and I am grateful for moving forward. I see it clearly that although we think we need the Omni Switch to help guide us, we really don't. If we need to believe in something more powerful then ourselves to help us move forward that's okay, but we must believe in ourselves and those around us. I will end by saying the art work is as uniquely disturbing, and mysterious as we all ar…

Minute of Islands has a gorgeous art style somewhere between Adventure Time, Moebius and The Adventures of Tintin. Mo's journey and inner monologue are narrated and brought to life by excellent voice acting. The game deals with several important issues, such as mental health, how to cope with loss and discovering your own self-worth. No one is an island.

I really liked this game, it's beautifully illustrated and voiced, very introspective. But I have to admit that it requires a lot of patience, so I can't honestly recommend it to everyone.

This is a game you play for the story, ambiance, and world building. I personally liked it, but don't expect complex gameplay or anything like that, its more of an interactive experience. Nevertheless it is good game.

7/10

Estéticamente es muy bonito, precioso, incluso cuando muestra escenas desagradables. Como juego es horrendo. Extremadamente lento, aburrido y sin reto.
