Charming game that fails to deliver on the story it tries to tell.

Harold represents how a lot people feel in life. Just going with the tide, stays away from trouble, stuck in the monotony of everyday life. That's what attracted me to this game.

The games main message was finding a place to call home and not being so quick to judge people because they all have their own problems.

Sadly, we spend the whole game chatting with characters that are all passive aggressive with no character development until half way through the game, you deliver old letters to them, then, suddenly, they have a new perspective on life. It seems all very elementary and had me cringing a lot of times. The only character development Harold has is when he helps the Lightkeepers and then when the alien arrives. I would much rather the characters start off passive aggressive then the more you talk to them, the more you learn and found out their going through a lot as they open up to you.

I was hoping the game would pick up steam after the Alien arrived but it's more of the same boring running back and forth. Hardly any puzzles.

Ultimately, the game tries to come off as deep by using big words. But, it's very much a surface level story and gets very cheesy at times.
