Que que é isso... no início pode parecer um jogo lento, chato, e etc. Mas depois de 1hr e meia. Do nada começa a chover designs fodas de personagens interessantes, level design engajante, e a lore cada vez mais extensa... uma ótima surprisa. Menção ao diretor de câmera: "Mikael Lindhe", que trabalho impecável... Esse jogo não teve a atenção que merecia.

The sound design is exceptional, accentuating the compelling narrative and the emotional depth of Olle’s quest. Despite some technical imperfections, the game’s stunning visuals, atmospheric storytelling, and memorable sequences make it a standout title well worth experiencing. It’s a testament to the power of indie games to deliver unique and immersive experiences that resonate with players long after the journey ends.

One of the most surprising games I've ever played. When I started I was confused with all the hype, it seemed like a childish game making me play hide and seek with gnomes. And then it kept surprising me at every turn with unexpected twists. I love how the story is told like a fairy tale with a narrator instead of dialogue and with actual fairy tale books you can read explaining its super interesting norse mythology and folklore. I love how dark and scary it gets. After the joyous first part it starts getting a bit like little nightmares and it just keeps getting crazier, soon you're dealing with dead babies, murder, zombies, your character (A CHILD!) covered in blood in a surrealistic nightmare, I was GAGGED. The mechanics are very simple and some of the boss fights can get a bit frustrating (especially the last one) but other than that the game is absolutely gorgeous, with an amazing story, beautiful soundtrack and I can totally understand what all the hype was about

Très beau mais un peu facile

Gorgeous atmosphere and doesn't overstay its welcome. I would never want to exist in a Nordic children's book.
