Alaris has a lovely setting full of mystique and wonder. I was impressed with the beautiful score, intricate UI, as well as a strong use of animation. I also really like glossy coloring style used on the sprites - who are all gorgeous, by the way. Plus the night time shading on the sprites in night time scenes?! So cool.
The herbs personality system has been a lot of fun to tinker around with, and I've had a blast exploring the codex as well.
I'm not too far into the game just yet, but Etza is shaping up to be my favorite companion. >:) I LOVE the use of free time exploration, the ability to invite someone along is such a cool mechanic! Really enjoying it so far, and looking forward to more.~
