What it’s like
Washed-out fields of pale grass under overcast skies, ruined cities swallowed by greenery, and a muted grey-brown palette broken by sudden bursts of colour during fights and magic. Its soundtrack leans on wistful piano, strings and haunting vocal pieces that swell in the open country and drop to near silence in ruins and dungeons. The mood is melancholy with a dreamlike, unsettling edge, and the pace is slow and wandering, with long stretches of quiet exploration and text-heavy conversation broken by frantic, stylish combat with swords, spears and spells. Its emotional core is a brother's desperate, gradually darkening search for a cure for his sister, and the story rewards patience with its surprises. Violence is frequent and stylised, with blood and grim imagery, and some scenes are disturbing or sexually suggestive, so it does not suit anyone wanting something gentle. It is for players who enjoy bittersweet, reflective worlds and don't mind a rough, unsettling edge.
