Insane that I could only find one person comparing this to the french animated film The Triplets of Belleville online, given that it seems like this game took a LOT of inspiration from that movie.
It's got awesome presentation but the section with the first monster did seem pretty obtuse and strain my patience a bit. It really makes me appreciate a game like Inside that so clearly communicates to you exactly what it needs you to do.
Still, the "cinematic platformer" subgenre is one I enjoy; I feel it shares DNA with my beloved Team Ico trilogy, as one of Ico's key inspirations is the progenitor of this subgenre, Eric Chahi's Another World. And this game definitely makes itself known as a standout of it, with some very memorable moments.
P.S. This game also has at least some inspiration from Ico, specifically in its "final boss battle".
