About A Song Of Sunlight
Arem has lived his life surrounded by ocean waves and fields of dying grass. Upon his small island lies The Settlement, a community of just three thousand: the children of the sun. Passing the long years in prayer and simple work, the blessed people of the Island live and die by their traditions. Arem, like all young men and women of The Settlement, knows well the laws of his people: perform one's obligation for the greater good, and never enter The Well- a passage leading deep into the unknown earth below. Raised as a Woundbearer, Arem greatly desires to come of age and do his part in improving the lives of his community- none more so than Sachita, the burning girl, shunned by The Settlement but whom he loves dearly. Yet, when Arem is suddenly given the responsibilities he always dreamed of, he finds his certainty shattered by the truth of the horror held at The Settlement’s close reach. Now doubting the only life he's ever known, Arem embarks on a secret mission to save his people and unravel the true nature of his world. Descending into the Well and desperately searching for answers, Arem comes to understand just how much he truly has to lose.

This game has no right being free for how incredibly high quality the story and gameplay are. If you can, I implore you to spend a few dollars to buy the game's soundtrack to support the develop who works tirelessly for this game. Anyways, my thoughts below: 1. Gameplay -> The core gameplay loop is engaging enough. We explore the big, fancy megastructure, find some shinies, kill a bunch of machines, and find something that advances the story. Maybe a boss fight, or some lore material. -> I love how simple yet surprisingly skill-based the combat system is. Complex enough while not being too overwhelming to learn. However, a pet peeve of mine is that the stats at the early game towards a certain enemy once you get into *that moment* in the game is a bit too high, and can be bothersome to fight against even in Story Mode. It would be appreciated if its base health is reduced, or at least make the timings somewhat more lenient. 2. Story -> An immersive, engaging, and really gripping story that got me feeling a lot of suspense and anticipation on what Arem does next; or what the world of this game has to offer. The writing of the characters is excellent and it really feels like that…2 found this helpful
Im halfway through chapter 2, but i have to say, this is the most engaging story ive played in a long time. The story is interesting, the characters too, the combat is simplistic but also surprisingly has a high skill ceiling. I cant stress how good this game is1 found this helpful

It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good
This game has a unique concept of combining a visual novel story with an engaging fast-paced combat. It has a dark story showcasing the psychology of the main characters and how their decisions and goals changes as they become obsessed with things, and the result to that. You will find out that it focus more on how the showcased character think about the situation they're in, leading to a slower paced story. This of course, is a bonus as without it, the story would be bland. Additionally, everytime you start fighting, lets say 'new area', you unlock a new combat mechanic. This makes the combat always engaging throughout the playthrough. Overall I spent 20 hours to finish both episode 1 and 2, and I totally recommend it. As it is weirdly free, there is no reason not to give it a shot.
This is a real cool game, with innovative narration and mechanisms.
