How it feels

A slow, solitary exploration through a vast, stylized wilderness where you piece together the past by reading scattered diaries and solving quiet puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the story and large world but are split on its execution. Many find the distances between points of interest too long with nothing to do, leading to boredom. Others enjoy the meditative orienteering and compass navigation. Common complaints include janky physics, no manual save, and dying forcing long repeats.
