[h1][b] TLDR: A simple but heartfelt journey through grief with clever time manipulation puzzles. A short and sweet platformer/walking simulator.

You’ll mostly be in snowy, forested areas, with the occasional surreal setting. There isn’t much exploration to be had here, though there are a few harder-to-get-to areas that contain memories, which is your collectible. The narrative is a simple yet emotional journey. It’s about the struggle of loss that most people have to deal with. A few parts were definitely sad, but nothing very powerful. The story is told entirely without dialogue, and I feel like the game does a good job of conveying what is happening non verbally.

A visually striking game that packs a big emotional punch. Each chapter is brilliantly thought out and really immerses you into the character's world and mindset. The game's storytelling is also top-notch and cleverly brings you on a journey through all the human emotions without making anything overly dramatic. Highly recommended.
Really beautiful cozy platform game on love, family and grief. The animation is stunning but, more than anything, it's the music that really ties it altogether.
Amazing
A work of art that will break you emotionally.
