I absolutely adore this game. If you like walking simulators, you will love this one. Lovely story, lovely atmosphere, lovely aesthetics. Lots of little nooks and crannies to poke into and secrets to find. I bought it on sale because I initially thought the base price was too high, but after playing the game, it's worth paying full price for, even more so at a discount.

i am so glad i came across this game. the art and soundtrack are captivating enough, but the puzzles and story kept me going. i definitely missed a lot of stuff my first play through (especially in the early game), so i'd recommend playing through it a second time to really experience everything. 100%'ing the game and getting to truly experience all of the little secrets was really satisfying and enjoyable. i'm excited to see future projects from the developer(s)!

A really sweet game and longer than I expected too. Has lots of hidden treats and gets quite emotional towards the end. I'd recommend it, if you like games where you care for and help things. Definitely deserved that award for the art, but the soundtrack is really nice too. Can't believe just one person made this! I should note though that it's very difficult to play with keyboard and mouse. If you don't or can't use a controller then I'd give it a miss (there is no vibration if you do use a controller though and have mobility issues. Or you can turn it off, I can't remember which)

The gameplay is super simple, and the puzzles are basic mechanics, but it all lends itself to a really relaxing game. It's definitely fun to pick up when I want to chill out and not think too much, but still have fun in a pretty world. My only gripe would probably be with the Arias, for whatever reason it's a little clunky to get the actual aria to trigger so there's a lot of fumbling around to get the cutscene to engage. Overall I think it's a really cute, cozy single player game, but I would definitely wait for it to go on sale, I'm not sure it's worth $20 purely from a gameplay perspective.

Naiad is a cute, whimsical, and wholesome game about finding secrets. You will be exploring in the water surrounded by nature and the wonders it brings. Some puzzles I had a hard time figuring out how to solve... had trouble with those and looked them up.
- wholesome music
- wonderful graphics ( very charming )
- cute animals to help out
- talking to a little cloud ( that was so adorbs )

I finished this game late yesterday night and was elated. This game is so thoughtfully and beautifully made, with beautiful Aria’s (make 4 hour loops on YouTube so I can fall asleep to them!! I’m serious!!), poems and scenery. I was so invested and so unbelievably sad when I got to chapter 15 seeing what happened to my little NAIAD 😭
There’s so many puzzles and little secrets that I enjoyed collecting, reading and learning about. The story is great and the idea even better.
I played during a depressive state and while my world was collapsing around me NAIAD bought peace, quiet and comfort. It was very relaxing and a beautiful game to play during that time as there was so pressure to complete anything at all and just follow NAIAD as they travelled through different areas.
Thank you for following through with your creative decision of making NAIAD. I first found this from TikTok from when you were just developing NAIAD and I am so glad that I saved it on steam to purchase. Thank you for ignoring any chance or idea you had of dropping this gem and bringing this to life. This is truly innovative work and it all paid off. Thank you to the creators and everyone who helped make NAIAD come to life. I cannot wait to see your future projects!

Really beautiful game, almost lulled me to sleep a couple times (compliment).
Some "puzzle" solutions are a little obtuse, and I had to look up how to progress in a handful of instances, but otherwise was a pleasant 5 hours.

What a wonderful chill game! It brings a child-like smile to my face. The graphics are simple, yet beautiful. The music is comforting and the controls are easy enough to follow. It is best to play with a controller for sure. Make sure to explore EVERY corner to find the secret passages!

Great peaceful game. A baby NAIAD who swims through river environments and as the game progresses the NAIAD grows up to an ADULT NAIAD. It's a cute game, I like the noises emitted from the NAIAD, so cute.
I found I could play an hour in each for a game session as it did make me feel sleepy, so I did 3 levels at a time per session, and finished the game. It was sad at the end when the NAIAD reaches end life and traverses the final rainbow road.
Made by one developer, but a great game. No crashes at all. Recommend playing NAIAD if you haven't played it.
