This was a sweet, sometimes emotional, and occasionally a little creepy experience. Heavily based in Norse mythology which I didn’t know much about and had fun reading about whenever new creatures came up.

Gameplay is fairly simple point and click adventure style. Most of the time it was easy to figure out what needed to be done. I did occasionally get stuck but it was always just because I hadn’t explored thoroughly or tried everything.

The last section felt a bit long-winded but it was helped by being able to control two characters, which made for some interesting puzzle solutions.

Would have rated a bit higher but I had a couple of glitches.

A great puzzle game with interesting story and characters! The castle puzzles started feeling tedious but i adored the forest puzzles.

Very beautiful game with a touching tone through music and visuals, but I have to say it bored me so much i couldn't go on. My major issue was, that visually it seemed so lutious in story and lore, but the puzzles were boring and the dialog just never amped-up.

What in the end made me drop it was when Im bored I typically take a break for a while and revisit later so I can get pulled in again, but it's incredibly hard to understand where you left of. They don't provide any way to find out what was missing and so I was stuck. I already lost the heart for the game and could neither hate play it, because it stills seems like a sweet game.

So if you don't have issues with slow paced development and won't get bored by boring puzzles, this is defenerly a very beautiful and calming experience otherwise, at least that is how it was for me at first to me.
