Huh. This game is very early access. The controls are keyboard only, and you have a bunch of actions, so you constantly hold over both your hands and try to memorize which key does what. I needs a HUD and mouse support! The world is just too big and empty. I spend the first 20 minutes just exploring. It definitely needs to scale down, at least at the start, and tighten the narrative. But I like the whole shapeshifting aspect and the opportunities that came with it, so hopeful thumbs up, but in this state, you pay mostly for supporting the dev rather than for the gameplay.

I liked it and it has potential when fleshed out some more. My only compliant is the control scheme on PC. Optimally, you should be able to do everything with just the mouse.
