The artstyle and music are pretty chill and pleasing and I enjoyed the sense of exploration it instills...for the most part. While the world is very intricately put together, some of the geometry is a little annoying to decipher what you can and can't access. And some of the secrets are almost too well hidden for my liking.

I also never found favor with the combat system throughout my playthrough. Didn't like how the sword, dodge, and stamina system mixed or felt and just wanted to get through combat to continue exploring.

The coolest part of the game though was the manual mechanic. I was really impressed with how creative and clever that was even if I was never going to be patient or smart enough to figure out the endgame puzzles
