Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Play as Nephise, an adventurer who explores forests, valleys, and ruins for precious orbs of light. Traverse a small forested area, rotate the statues, and somehow convince the giant wolf to leave so you can reach the precious cave…”
“I would say this game does an injustice to walking simulators, which I'm generally a fan of. It's more of a technical demo than a game. There's basically 4 riddles and they're quite boring. There was a nice tactile feel to moving around…”
