overall I really enjoyed this game. The lore feels rich, the story is mostly satisfying, the puzzles had varying degrees of difficulty, and some truly... rage inducing... boss fight mechanics. Best unskippable cutscene is in the Graveyard of Melodies, just simply awesome.
There are some small quibbles: some of the hint dialog wasn't unlocked until I had already solved the puzzle (weird); Lupi likes to get in the way of walking; the mechanics with the controller can be bloody awful (might be better with the keyboard, I haven't tried it yet); some mental map glitches (green areas that don't stay green); and a few dog interactions that don't seem to go anywhere (maybe just to mess with my head?).
Give the game a try though. It's good.

What a hell of a ride. This was one of the best games I have played in my life, it got me so unbeliveably invested in the story I was constantly wanting to go further and further because of how good of a job it does in holding everything in until the perfect time. What a masterpiece, I always play games mostly for the lore but I also do enjoy a puzzle to have to pull from my head and the game also has a handfull of them!
I am sure to recomend to everyone, it's so worth the time, congratulations to the team, I had a blast.

Truly a phenomenal game right here.
If you are a fan of incredible worldbuilding/storytelling and secrets, riddles and enigmas, then this game is for you. The art style is simply incredible, it's a perfect mix of 2D pixel art and 3D environments
Some of the puzzles get very meta/arg-ish and actually blew my mind with how cool they are.
I would HIGHLY recommend this game to absolutely anyone who wants a very charming experience set in a world full of the Paranormal. 10/10

I'm loving this game. It's got a bit of Oxenfree about it (but with a lot more gameplay) and some The Room vibes. It's the perfect balance of story and puzzle - with a little bit of light action - and I particularly love that it doesn't hand-hold you through the game.
So far so good. :)

Gotta give this game an 8/10. I LOVED the puzzles, which were extremely well translated to English. I was able to solve all of them on my own except for one puzzle I had to look up because [spoiler]my hearing is awful.[/spoiler] Two things would increase my rating of the game; the ability to skip cutscenes, and better combat. I love split second pixel perfect gameplay when you have pixel perfect controls, but the 2D sprites representing 3D entities made split second aiming extremely difficult, and having a slightly misaligned angle of attack could change a combo from connecting all three hits to leaving you wide open for a counter attack. I play Sekiro and Bloodborne and Dark Souls, so its not that I can't do precise and challenging combat, just that this one had some mismatches.
That being said, I got this game to fill out a sketchbook with notes and drawings. And it delivered. My sketchbook is absolutely FILLED with the ramblings of a mad man! Didn't take as long to beat as Blue Prince, so a little disappointed there. And I wish the puzzles opened up more puzzles. Most puzzles didn't lead to more past the puzzle solution.
Overall though, if you want a game to fill out a notebook or sketchbook, highly recommend.

The game starts out well but gets boring towards the end. Puzzles are sometimes good but most of the time the solutions are weird. Some basic things are missing for me: skip cutscenes, the main character have a diary or something, save game. Too much backtrack for me, some puzzles just easier to brute force than find the hint or solution. I had a lot of crash during the game, not a good sign. I like the graphics and the english voice acting.

There are a few good puzzles that were fun to solve. Other than that, I really did not enjoy this game.
Most of the puzzles don't fit into the larger story and thus feel contrived. In fact, many of the clues in game are only relevant to any entirely separate ARG-like puzzle that is entirely arbitrary and optional. The combat is largely annoying and is only enjoyable in the few cases where there are puzzle mechanics that let you avoid it. A huge amount of the content in the game is just flavor for the world and characters (most photographs and notes have no importance to the puzzles nor story). Unfortunately the characters and world are uninteresting and the story is both nonsensical and poorly told. A lot of the dialog is downright cringe worthy, like an anime melodrama, not helped at all by the over-the-top voice acting.
And what is absolutely unforgivable is that this puzzle game ends with an extremely difficult parry-based boss fight (a mechanic which is never introduced anywhere in the game). Losing this fight results in an unskippable 2 minute sequence before you can try again. After failing this a few times, I gave up and watched the ending on YouTube, which was just as disappointing as I expected given the poor quality of the rest of the story.
This game has a very clear vision, and that vision is very fully realized, which I do respect. But ultimately there is just too much poor execution to overlook.
