Racial Justice Bundle Impressions

I am madly in love with what this game is doing and its probably impossible to put that into words or a picture. At its heart its an action adventure that takes some structural queues from the Zelda games (It is NOT a Zelda game) and adds an insane amount of small touches to that formula, making it feel like an explorative adventure game with some basic combat. This game is lovely and ... mad. A village from the 14th century has randomly disappeared and you accidentally stumble into purgatory where that village has been preserved. You follow quests, explore the world and find secrets. What elevates this game above so many other games is its emphasis on giving the player agency and making him care about that agency.

In addition to click and choose conversations, you have an old school type textbox to enter a command for an item/conversation. The dev didnt go all crazy with the endless possibilities, but what it does is making you care about every scrap of paper, every bit of conversation, because you know the game is hiding secrets that you can only unlock by reading, remembering and using that knowledge in the right place. And the game has quite a few of those secrets. This game has a good and varied soundtrack, looks a lot better in motion and tugs and pulls at your curiosity constantly and that is something really, really special that is still unfortunately very rare to find in video games. Probably in my top 5 games of the bundle. 5/5
