While this sounds interesting, the problem here is that it never tells you anything and it never explains why all of this even exists like why are there giant spiders, why do these villagers hate you, why do both of these belong in the past while there's also electricity here so what time did this occur? But most importantly, it never even said why we were even going on this journey to begin with and I didn't even know I reached the ending when the credits rolled because the game was never building up to one and when I saw the boy's sister, I was confused and NO, multiple playthroughs didn't answer the question. Basically, the game is about how a young boy waking up in the middle of nowhere and just has to go somewhere and along the way, he must deal with massive spiders, electricity puzzles, villagers, magnetic puzzles etc. Now easily the worst part about this game for me personally and the main reason why I don't see myself replaying it is because of the story or lack there-of one. I never really thought I'd say this, but the animations are surprisingly good for what they are even down to the main character. The puzzles are surprisingly good since you actually need to THINK and it can feel pretty good to solve them on your own since this game always has new puzzles and they never give you any hints to solve them meaning you're on your own in solving them which is exactly what this game wants you to feel plus there are even specific collectables hidden away in the level design to ensure you're always on the lookout. The gameplay is simple yet good enough to the point where it'll be all you ever need to continue on your journey. I want to start off by saying is that this game being black and white is a BRILLIANT decision since a world with color could've potentially made the game look bland and generic and so because of this, it looks strangely beautiful in a way I never could've imagined and this correlates greatly into the atmosphere since any screenshot or video will showcase the atmosphere perfectly and it's extremely immersive and helps you feel attached to this world. The first thing I want to stress out is that I do not hate this game, far from it, I think it's really good and I do recommend it if you like it but this one problem I have pretty much kills any replay value for me personally but I will get to that.
