A well-polished and fluid game, and a complete joy to play though. I really liked the depth and variety of secret-like things that are not explicitly told to you, they're just there to discover if you're curious (or stumble onto them).

[h2] A gorgeous journey downstream [/h2]
While the gameplay mechanics are fairly simple and the story, while cute and not devoid of emotions, doesn't reach high grounds since its storytelling is so limited, this game is so pretty and so satisfying to play and watch that it is really difficult not to recommend it. Just bear in mind you're in for a very casual experience, but I mean, if you've watched the trailers and are stll reading reviews, it means you're probably not adverse to that.
Its relatively long too, for a game of its type, there is a generous amount of content here and the game also offers very nice QOL features such as chapter selection and a list of collectibles you've found (or didn't) in each level, to allow for much easier completion after finishing the game.

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!

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.

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!

Naiad is a game focussed on beauty - of colour, sound and movement.
You are a watery nymph, following the path of a river. On your way down you help the living creatures you encounter. At first your gameplay options seem obvious and challenge-free. With time you start discovering little environmental puzzles and hidden areas. It's a meditative game, that is less about challenge and more about observation and discovery. You start to open your eyes more and more to the world around you, as you gently float downstream.
Your movements have a very nice flow and it feels good to just navigate around the riverbank. The movements of the animals and the water have a similar grace to them.
By the time I finished the game, I had already fallen in love with it. I needed to instantly replay it, taking some time and looking for the things I had missed.
