A game with large geography about loss and memory, August 1, 2017
by MathBrush
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This is one of those games where you wander about, having recollections come to you (like Wrenlaw).

The game has a sprawling geography; outside of the first area, each movement can take you through different climates.

It is short, a bit buggy, and kind of quickly put together, but I enjoyed it. It has MIDI music that I did not hear.
