Steam review snapshots
Anyways, the story is still somewhat overly ambigious..and confusing, and all the characters are not explained about their powers…hope for the second…I ship Alexia and FremonI also appreciated having visible monsters that I could actually walk around if I needed to explore (which you will have to).You can literally skip half of the story by moving through walls or edges.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
