A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER!
It starts off like a creepy, old school, silent hill inspired, game with cool graphic and top tier OST (might be my favorite of all time honestly) but ends with an even more amazing visuals and story that leaves you with a feeling of shock and awe. From the first moment you are greeted with an eerie theme of the opening of the game menu that sets the tone for the rest of the game.
The mix of melancholy, depressing and, in the right moments, inspiring songs is insane. Tracks like Emptiness and The Promise amplify the already beautifully visual game moments, while Double Back and Turned Around deepen the grim atmosphere while trying to stay alive.
Gameplay itself is a mix of basic, but well made and enjoyable, combat and puzzle solving that takes you all around the map with lots of details that subtly hint on the settings and morals of the outer world.
Enemies are not too hard and not too annoying to deal with but still challenging enough to fear them for hitting you, puzzles also aren't hard as to have to google some or most of them.
Main story is harder to piece together for the most of the game because of abstract, yet beautiful, and sometimes vague storytelling but if you persist you will be rewarded with a gut wrenching finale and conclusion, full of themes of perseverance and undying love.
The game is not too long and it makes good use of map design so that it keeps things interesting. There are several endings which i think fit well with the motif and the atmosphere but you still get the full picture of the story whichever one you get.
I'd say overall this is a must play for people who like silent hill/resident evil type game and also for people who enjoy surreal, macabre and abstract worlds.
