The land of Norverenda

[h3] Bugs [/h3] Game has no visual indicator to fight Game is missing text in some locations (Menu) Game is missing key indicators for controls Missing link to hook the HP to the menu, so you just die and don't know if you lost HP. NPC's can be spoken to multiple times. Some segments are not localized [h3] Controls [/h3] Interact - Space (Sometimes walk to a specific glowing spot on the ground) movement - Arrow keys Escape/Space/enter - Skip Dialogue Escape while in gameplay/world - Game Menu Space while in credits/intro - Speed up [h3] Overall Gameplay from a small amount of playtime [/h3] Confusing, no sense of direction, no sense of information, very little of developer feedback giving players a sense of movement or direction to head.

The land of Norverenda is a gentle little adventure that I found surprisingly comforting. I play as Ravy, who leaves his struggling hometown after its sacred well suddenly stops providing the blessings that once kept the land healthy. He sets out toward the legendary land of Norveranda in the hope of finding the source of those blessings. I liked the simple motivation because the journey feels more personal than a typical fantasy adventure. The exploration is the main focus, and I enjoyed slowly moving through the different areas while looking for things to interact with. The game takes me through places such as warm forests and misty swamps, with each area having its own atmosphere. I can meet characters, collect items and discover things that help fill in the story. It is not a fast paced adventure, and I think that works well for the kind of experience the game is trying to create. The collectibles are also important because Ravy can find scattered pearls and fragments of memories during the journey. I liked having a reason to explore beyond simply following the main path. Finding these pieces gradually gives me more information about the world and the mystery surrounding Norv…

If anyone can tell me how to get the dry stick I would appreciate it!

i will admit, this was a frustrating play. there were little to no markers on what to do or how to get the items you needed. collision is lacking in many places, which is a big problem when most of the game is you banging your head into things and pressing interact. HOWEVER. the art-style and music is phenomenal, and i found myself wanting to continue despite its many problems. should you play this? i would say yeah. even if you don't finish it, its still a nice little game.

Beautiful, but does not make much sense. No hints for controls, no language setting, no motivation on what to do.
