Finished the game just yesterday, I think I had come across it before while looking through random itch.io games but only got to playing it after checking out the recent Flipside Frights demo disc.
Really strong atmosphere, I loved the varied colour palettes and the unique music for all encounters, adds a lot of charm!
Overall reminded me of Undertale's pacifist gameplay pushed further into a full puzzle gameplay and with a vibe kinda similar to "No Delivery".

The Backwoods took a few attempts to get a better grasp of the encounter systems before I was able to fully make it through, but it was relatively smooth sailing after that.
I've recently replayed through the Super Mario 64 hack "B3313" so this ended up feeling like a pretty appropriate follow up with all the liminal areas making up the digressions on top of the glitchy nature of the later parts.

The different environments, events and all the encounters kept each digression fresh and different from the others. It did get a bit easy as it went on with the abundance of items making any obstacles not much of a problem, though personally difficulty was far from a primary appeal for a game like this so it wasn't much of an issue.

Really my only issue with the game was the 5th digression. There was some cool visuals and interesting parts like the sudden quiz and the figuring the sentences section, though out of about 3 hours it took me to go through, it started overstaying its welcome halfway.
The nonsense fights where spamming attack for 5 minutes seemed  like the way to end it, the sections where you have to fight the camera to figure out where you're going and how long this part of the game was, it got old fast unfortunately.
It was exhausting but didn't ruin the game or anything, still loved it overall!

 Also, came across a small error in an Axenic conceptual parasite encounter, seems it was trying to load "Vemödalen" rather than "Vemodalen". It kept spamming the error message so I had to fix it myself.
