Even the Ocean reviews

In advance, got the Game at half The price and yes, in appearance the Game seems really pretty designed. Unfortunately, however, there is not much to offer besides a loving Graphics and Atmosphere. The Story doesn't really get any better over time, you chat with People you don't know about their Problems, who unfortunately don't care much. You don't get a Bond with the individual Characters, the Dialogues unfortunately get really annoying over time, because you would actually like to do something different right now but are forced to talk linearly with a certain Person. The action passages that then take place in between unfortunately seem very simple and half-hearted due to the Game principle, "Damage" is immediately lifted and even if you are then on the verge of a Game Over, you never have the last Memory Point, because it is from it Really Countless There. What has finally destroyed the Fun of the Game for me was the Appearance of the 2nd Bug, which permanently prevents us from Progressing. This Game, which places a lot of emphasis on the Story and would actually be super supportive with a wonderful Atmosphere right from the Start, must not suddenly suddenly become careless in all Areas. Unfortunately, so many practical Functions and Settings do not help across them. For a Basic Price of €156, I think you expect more, so I personally can't recommend this Game.

If you see in the screenshots that the author of the wonderful Anodyne this time made a fascinating metrodvydany, which this talent just has to get exciting-then prepare to be disappointed. This Is platformer, but the similarity ends there. Platformer as if on the one hand nostalgic (so there is a fermentation of pseudo quart, a certain style of in-game pictures...), but at the same time-experimental. For example, there are no enemies and attacks, only obstacles. There is no health, only a balance of two energies. In General, the game can be held in the modes "only platformer", "Only the story" and "Platformer + plot". There are other options for every taste-turn off the flash, disable the 3st card, disable the death... Given the very, how to say this, the liberal composition of the characters... (It seems that all the positive characters belong to one or another minority, the appearance of the protagonist deliberately and clumdly breaks the stereotype, and the villain is the embodiment of white male privilege...) In General, it seems that the author was attracted by the idea to make a very progressive game to the detriment of the fact that it was still interesting and exciting. In Fact, he failed even to make a compelling social commentary, because to show a world where minorities are not--little to say something useful about the real world or evoke feelings. But the boring, slowly developing plot on the background of protracted dialogues causes very certain feelings, and they are not about social justice. Not recommended. Or something I don't understand.
