So well-designed, organic-feeling, and atmospheric. The puzzles are satisfying to figure out, with the stones puzzle being the standout. For me though, through a combination of my own impatience, a few gripes with the game itself, and some very unfortunate RNG, the whole thing was a more frustrating experience than it could have been. And I always got stuck on the silliest parts.

Cosy adventure with charming voice acting. Lots of familiar elements if you have any kind of interest in folk horror. Puzzle-wise I never had to think long about what to do next. Narratively they made the strange decision to introduce a massive element of dramatic irony in the third act which, while the choices the MC makes do fit with her character development, makes that last part quite frustrating for the player.

Outstanding art (apart from one cringe out-of-place bit of character design) and neat lore. Starts out appropriately difficult but eases up a lot as you progress. I'm glad I stumbled onto the true ending on my first playthrough because I have zero desire to tediously trek around the map again. Shan't be bothering with the Stir of Dawn dlc.
Also glad I didn't buy it myself, originally because the devs hold some views I find distasteful, but my controller stopped working a few hours in and when I searched online for solutions it turned out people have been having the exact same issue for years and the devs just never fixed it.
