I got this in a bundle with Mist. It looks very promising so far. The writing and animations look top notch, and the sound is nice too.
My only point of critique so far is that the scenes are just so dark, and I had the same problem in Mist. It doesn’t help that a lot of background characters are these dark, reflective blobs. Not sure yet whether there is a story reason for this, or just an early placeholder. At least the vessels in Mist were matte with emissive effects, which made it easier to make out their poses in dark environments.
I don’t know if you can make a brightness slider for a game like this without the scenes simply looking washed out. I’d love it if you could add more light sources to a shot to cancel out some of the shadows. It’s a really beautiful game, and I’d rather have some candles or glowing magic orbs or whatever appear in a scene without an explanation how they got there, than to miss out on the details.
