Have played for about 2 hours. Through the tutorial and well into the beginning of the main game. The graphics, music and scenery are lovely. I like the retro feel, and the attention to detail. The peaceful exploration mechanic with a story and mystery to solve is my kind of thing. You are given tasks to complete and a clear direction to go, so it feels...

Once I got past what felt like a battle with the controls this game is actually a pretty fun and chill game. I loved exploring the environments, every landmark was detailed, unique and interesting.
