Interesting idea - you need to carefully read texts and find codes for related texts to read more texts
Not so great adventure - puzzles dont have logic and game has a lot of pixel hunting
Unpolished hotlinemiami-like. Generation of leves works badly
Esoteric Ebb is a stunner: narrative CRPG holding its own vs. Disco Elysium, Planescape, BG3. Killer writing, smart dense dialogues, fresh universe, choices that matter — Quest Tree evolves your Cleric perfectly. 30h first playthrough; replaying as mystic/diplomat/rationalist unlocks wild new paths. Replayability off the charts.
Wordy AF (skip if you hate text walls). Combats meh — but it's all about story freedom anyway.
8yr solo dev passion + RAW Fury backing = indie masterpiece. 25-30€ steal on Steam. CRPG fans: must-play.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is sequel perfection: ambitious, richer, prettier, soul intact. Wishfully nailed improvements — complex puzzles, new moves, varied biomes, deeper story, double length.
Art style blows minds: hand-painted forests/oceans/mountains. Furukawa OST = poetry. Paused to soak it in.
Puzzles flawless: fun, logical, final level genius. Story wordless magic: Lana/Mui bond, nature themes — Ghibli vibes.
Tiny save bug (fix incoming). ~7h pure bliss at 20€ (Game Pass day 1). Indie 2026 gem. Demo it, get hooked. Part 3 when?
