Only the Prophet—a deaf young woman—can cross these cursed lands unharmed, giving the narrative an intimate and mythic quality as she embarks on a journey to save her brother and rescue the remaining unturned citizens.

Overall a very fun experience, with a beautiful art style to compliment it.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I won't spoil much, but the fact it has some great puzzle gameplay, simple yet great storytelling, and an amazing art style and music to fit the game's aesthetic.
9 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
Replaying levels to perfect your solutions or complete all optional objectives is a core part of the experience, and the game is at its best when approached as a series of intricate logic challenges rather than a combat-driven adventure.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The aesthetic and the setting work well together to carry the gameplay, and the soundtrack and narration keep you interested.
