About The Blueness of a Wound
ENTER A DARK MODERN FAIRY TALE...
Haunted by a tragic event that led to the loss of her sister, Lana is a young woman who returns to the place of her childhood to seek answers.
That place is Australia's Blue Mountains, which according to the stories of the Dreamtime is where the omnipotent Rainbow Serpent lives. To get the answers she seeks Lana will have to venture deep into the primordial valleys of the mountains where the forces from the beginning of time still hold dominion.
* A perfect cross between a graphic novel and adventure game
* Use Tarot cards, Magic and your intuition to progress
* A surreal story based on folklore
* A highly unique art style featuring watercolor illustrations
* Features music by legendary Japanese composer Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana, Koudelka)

when first viewed the visual aspect of the game very abstract style, but when you throw that in with the out of this world music, pure bliss. loved every minute of it. especially to be set in my home country it was fantastic to see a beautiful representation of a part of the country we live in7 found this helpful
The beautiful music and wonderful artstyle did not save this one for me, unfortunately. First of all, there are no options. I was missing at least a volume slider and a fullscreen button. The game has three endings, I got one of them. Not sure if this was due to some choices I made, but the story seemed to end all of a sudden, right when it felt like we were getting started. Perhaps there is more in the other endings... For someone with no experience with Tarot cards, choosing the right one was purely trial & error. (Choosing the wrong one leads to instant fail + retry.) The UI is simple, working, but clunky. It feels like playing an old Flash game. The transitions between scenes and music switches did not feel smooth. It's a trippy little story with awesome art, if that's enough for you, this game is great. I wish there was a little more polish for the price, so I cannot recommend it. (About 10 minutes of my playtime was spent trying to make the game fullscreen.)4 found this helpful
