First time it's been on sale this year for Nintendo Switch. 40% off, matches previous low DekuDeal.

Charming game, have only played a few hours myself but enjoying it so far. Music and art style are lovely. Seems a perfect match for handheld play. Let others know your thoughts on it (without spoilers!) in the comments.

  You will hate this game when you reach the second half.

      battle is annoying without too much rewards and story is not good as the beginning.

    Regardless still a great game. The end battle sequence is shitty, the storyline otherwise is exceptional.

  Music slaps! Played it at launch and I still remember the sound track.

  It's like a 2D zelda with a twist. You play as a silent protagonist that wields guns and pan (for melee) with a friend that has psychic powers.

  Swapping between the two, you embark on a linear story to kick butts and solve puzzles. Yes, it's very linear. There are many points of no return so good luck if you want to 100%

  Like others have pointed out, the game starts off amazing with its premise, world building but it loses steam around 3/4 of the way (train bit and pun intended) before getting better again but doesn't hit the same highs at the beginning.

  The game came our fairly polished and I encountered only 1 glitch which prevented me from solving a puzzle. But apart from that, the puzzles were fun. The optional puzzles were great and made me feel smart for solving.

  Overall, I still have fond memories of this game despite its flaws. It tried to do something different while taking inspirations from various games. The game didn't feel like a rip off or a cash grab but can feel that this game came from a place of love. So kudos to the indie developer.

  Edit: forgot to mention, there is a lot of text to read! Like a lot. I loved it but definitely not for everyone. The pace is pretty slow too so if you are in for the action, avoid
