The end is nahual: If I may say so

Simultaneously one of the most beautiful and interesting games I've ever played and one of the most irritating. Significant parts of this game rely on the player to make huge jumps in logic and skill with very little warning beforehand. It switches from a point-and-click to a reaction-based runner on a whim. I'm excited to see what they put out next.

I recommend, but with some reservations. I enjoyed this game, but it's not perfect and it's not for everyone. Please continue reading to understand. [b]GAMEPLAY[/b]: This game is mostly a [b]Visual Novel[/b]. There is a lot of reading and a lot of cutscenes. It is possible to fast-forward the dialog and skip some cutscenes, but there is still a lot of waiting for the "visual novel" portion of the gameplay. In between the (many and long) visual novel sections, there are a few point-and-click-adventure style sections, and some puzzle elements. For me, that was the most enjoyable part of the gameplay. Then, mostly near the end, the game focus heavily on real-time reaction gameplay. You have to react fast and press the arrow keys (and even diagonals). This was the most frustrating part for me, and I almost gave up a several times. All parts of the gameplay are mandatory. You cannot skip the parts that you don't like. While the game will drop not-so-subtle hints on how to solve the puzzles, the game won't lower the difficulty of the real-time sections. You have to keep trying until you get good.

I love the art style of the game. The game genuinely made me laugh. Also it's people trying something different that works. The visual novel blended with point and click, loving it. Alas, I'll never know the end of the game. The sections involving Jacob with the spirit door fights should be made skippable. The running section I beat, but was infuriating. The second door you hold space and sling the projectile back at the enemy. I couldn't figure out how to knock the projectiles back at the boss. I waited until the last moment for the projectiles to hit and let go of space, while the projectiles were hovering in front of me, nothing worked for me. If someone wants to chime on what I'm doing wrong. Drop me a comment. Because this irritating for such a simple game.

Asked for a refund. The text is sometimes directly over an image and hard to read. At other moments, it's litterally BEHIND the characters, so there is no way to read. I really don't know how it made it to the public that way.

The world is broken. The gods have vanished without explanation, powerful nahual beings have left destruction behind them, and somehow, in the middle of all that chaos, life still finds strange ways to move forward. Some people seek purpose. Others seek revenge. Some simply wish they had started the day with a decent breakfast. The end is nahual: If I may say so presents itself as an adventure filled with absurd humor, existential questions, strange encounters, and moments that intentionally blur the line between comedy and deeper reflection. At first glance, it appears chaotic and almost nonsensical. The game openly jokes about being “about nothing,” but beneath that intentionally playful presentation lies something far stranger. It builds a world where emptiness itself becomes part of the conversation. The experience constantly challenges players to think about existence in unusual ways. Space, absence, meaning, and identity become recurring ideas woven directly into both the story and the humor. The game plays with philosophical concepts while refusing to treat them too seriously. It asks uncomfortable questions before immediately undermining itself with absurd comedy. It invi…

It is a visually and conceptually impressive journey. It has a very particular sense of humor, and it focuses on delivering a very unique interactive experience. Highly recommended if you are looking for something strange in the best possible way.
