Brilliant indie game, lovely peaceful atmosphere thanks to the beautiful music and cute graphics. Very cool the way the game has no words for direction whatsoever, just clever indications of what to do like following the winter spirit, takes a little getting used to but very well done. The puzzles are really enjoyable. Keeps you wondering what will be next as you continue your journey. Would definitely recommend!!

About This Game
Mac and Linux Update
Hey guys, we had planned to have day one Mac and Linux versions but at the moment we've run into a few critical bugs on just Mac and Linux that we won't have fixed in time for release. However as soon as the game releases on Windows we'll be spending all our time on getting those platforms out. So watch this space! Sorry for the inconvenience.

really short need more puzzles grab it on sale
Very Nice and beautiful game, while playing through this game it did remind me so much of Zelda and the artwork used to tell the story telling was very suitable and most definately unique to my eyes. I found this game very calm and peaceful. Gameplay: The game had a beautiful start but after finishing the first section of the puzzles it just felt like rinse and repeat with slightly different puzzle layout. it felt like while thinking of the puzzles they put more time into difficulty of the puzzle rather than adding variation of different machanics. There seemed to be alot of times where i was walking through the snow and nothing happens for a long period of time. This being said, i was wowed by how beautiful the game looked but eventually it didnt even matter how nice it looked and i was more focused on what would happen next or to see an event refering to the plot of the story. The avalanches were very confusing, i didnt know where they were landing. Story: the story seemed to be n...
Had such fun in this game, I put my feet up/ headphones on and just enjoyed the journey. Great game for just chilling out id really recommend if someones looking for a good time.
So I start by walking slowly through a featureless low polygon landscape. Very slowly, oh so terribly slooooowly. Then I must solve some puzzles. I only can walk slowly, oh so frustratingly slowly between the parts of the puzzle. Puzzle A is fortunately solved on the first try. On Puzzle B something goes wrong, so I have to restart it. I can't be bothered to spend minutes walking slowly, oh so infuriatingly slowly between the different areas of the puzzle, so I quit and uninstall the game. I can't say anything about the quality of the puzzles, because you spend an absurd amount of time walking around in a boring and featureless landscape. In 15 minutes I just made it to the second puzzle. As a pure puzzle game, just clicking stuff with your mouse, this might have worked, but the current state is a very sad affair. It's so mind-numbingly boring, I wouldn't play it for free.
Overall it is a good game with some challenging areas. The graphics is graet. Recommended provided you have patience for the challenging levels.
This game is a must buy in my eyes! I really enjoyed my time playing this game, and even went back for a second run to get the no deaths achievement. Both playthroughs were fantastic and enjoyable. The art style is fantastic. The low poly style and cold colours work well together to deliver a beautiful looking game. Low poly can be hard to pull off at times, but these guys really nailed it on the head! I had the pleasure of talking to games 3D modeller when I was streaming the game, he talked to my chat and answered any questions they had. The puzzles for the game are not too hard to get your head around, there are bits that can be a challenge but you won't be wracking your brain every 5 minutes to get through the game. Each puzzle room is designed well and they each fit into the game perfect. The music really sets the scene for me. I really enjoyed not only the background music but the sound effects of the game too. The sounds and music were done really well, which can be hard ...
You can let a 6 year old play it maybe but even so there are better games in this style that would better suit their time. This wasn't any fun and it dragged. It takes to long to get to the temples, the music is annoying, there isn't much of a challenge, the story is lame, there's no real reward for doing anything. This could be a school project and I assume it was. The looks sold me on it but it doesn't deliver anything meaningful.
This may be one of best possible indie games there is on the market. it literally has everything between fighting,cosy,puzzles and so many more. The atmosphere in the game too. Words literally coudnt even explain how good it is. Music? oh how about the music, everything fits into its place when you need it too. The sounds memorise my ears every time I hear it. Puzzles are the perfect amount as not too easy but not too hard. The artwork in this game is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my whole life. the ending had me so shocked! nothing is wrong with this game at all. Should 100% get goty 2024. If not I will sue them. Such a masterpiece of a game.
Nice little puzzle game. The story could be improved/elaborated on, and some of the puzzles were much too easy, but some took some thinking to figure out. Not a bad way to spend 60-90 minutes. I do wish the main character looked more like a girl. She looks like a little boy, but maybe that's just the art style.
