More walking than story, and more questions than answers. Beautiful atmosphere, sure , but without real payoff, it feels like emotional breadcrumbing with no sandwich at the end.

The game features a straightforward narrative that initially posed some challenges, but I quickly got the hang of it! I found the story's conclusion to be quite satisfying, and it kept me engaged as I solved each puzzle to progress further. The hidden Easter eggs added an extra layer of enjoyment, making the experience even more delightful. If you have a few hours to unwind and immerse yourself in a captivating tale, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this game a try! For What Will Come offers a compelling narrative that builds slowly before ramping up the tension, making it a great way to spend several hours. The developer has been incredibly responsive and dedicated to improving the game, consistently addressing bugs and enhancing the overall experience. Each update has brought noticeable improvements, including new story elements that enrich the gameplay. I absolutely loved the stunning environment; everything felt vibrant and lifelike. The lighting was particularly impressive! Normally, I crank up the brightness in dark games, but I found myself lowering it to fully appreciate the breathtaking sky and lighting effects.

What a total abomination! Where do I even start. You basically walk a few feet then wait for the next section to Load. Yet there are MMOPGs that never load. I thought this was solved by 2008! It's a cluttered mess where you clunk along directionless with almost nothing to click on. Once you do it's either a narration or letter. You start by cleaning up a bunch of basic reused assets ie beer bottles, then go to an underwater cave that was a complete nightmare to navigate. The scene was so messy, it took over 10 minutes to find my way back out. Once back in the parent's house, I finally got in their tiny bedroom to get a code, only to find the basement keypad was no longer clickable! So I saved and exited the game, hoping I could just load the save and maybe the issue would be resolved, only to find ALL of my Game Saves were DELETED!!! Yet the title screen somehow has a "delete saved games" option, but no LOAD option! I really wanted to get cozy with this game, but unfortunately it's a steaming pile of garbage!
