I played Broken Rules' previous game, And Yet It Moves, and what these two have in common is the unrestricted (could say: broken) ruleset of its movement system. while the game creates a solemn but extremely cozy mood with its beautiful landscapes, traversing them is sometimes a bit counter-intuitive. Maybe that stems from it being mostly built for mobile interfaces. None of it is gamebreaking however and I enjoyed my time with it a lot, even occasionally with a toddler in my arms.

I really enjoyed the nature of the game. Very indie. Very relaxing with a nice message. The graphics are great. Very worth the money on sale or not. Glad I played it

This game is incredibly beautiful. It's crafted really well not just in the artwork and animatiob, but in the story told without any words, and in the really interesting unique gameplay.
The puzzle style is nothing I've ever seen before, and while it's easy to get to grips with pretty quickly, it keeps presenting you with twists and new ideas that give a real challenge to certain areas of the game.

Interesting art style, takes a bit to get used to, but I liked it, and these kind of light hearted adventure games in general.

Nice little break from all the hectic and competitive games i usually play. The art style looks nice and the music is relaxing.
The puzzles are on the easier side but not bad. The biggest issue i have with this game is that the puzzle controls are a little clunky, you can drag out the land far enough for the connection dot to appear without actually connecting the land. I also wish that mouse 2 was just to interact with the environment because i would often walk somewhere when i just wanted to knock on a door or ring a bell.
