A compelling story muddled by bugs, July 24, 2016

This game has a unique vision and concept, but falls flat in implementation.

You survive an avalanche and end up in a secluded wooded area with 2 npcs. The game becomes a mixture of exploration and conversation: you try to find interesting landmarks and ask both npcs about it several times.

The implementation and writing fall flat; a few rounds of beta testing would have smoothed things over. The tone varies widely, some objects and directions have difficult to guess commands, and so on.

However, the main idea was so fun that I peresevered through bizarre bugs in the hint system to read all the text in the game. I would play it again.
