A boat trip is associated with a very personal story that will touch you deeply.

Despite this lovely looking world and a story so driven by mystery, I wasn’t able to get past Will as a character or the obtuse puzzles he has to face.

The game relies on a cinematic narrative and clever puzzles, but the excessive walking and the lack of interactive environments detract from the experience.
