This is a game filled with all of the melancholy of our most difficult goodbyes. It’s a commentary on grieving and letting go, but still overflowing with hope. It’s like a celebration of life when you lose someone dear to you, and how we best honor our loved ones (and ourselves) by carrying on the joy and warmth that they left us with.

With no combat, and puzzles with a healthy level of challenge, the developers seem to be focused on the struggles we face internally; and to great effect. With one of the most touching and beautiful endings I’ve ever seen, all of these emotional beats felt so well-earned.
