The glide mechanic, introduced early in the game, becomes a defining feature of traversal, adding a sense of grace and vulnerability as Elin soars briefly before gravity inevitably pulls him back toward the ground.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
32 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
You're probably better off playing other 2D sidecroller puzzle games like INSIDE or Pinstripe of which the former has stellar level design, visuals, music, story & atmosphere.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
I'm very sorry to say that, as the graphics are very nice and had me hopeful, but the game itself isn't fun and that breaks the whole deal for me.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
The haunting soundtrack further elevates the experience, relying on ambient piano melodies and mournful tones that create an emotional backdrop to the lonely trek through the darkness.
