Now for something a bit less verbose...
An atmospheric 2D platformer, well-known indie title, came out in 2010 during the rapid rise of indie game popularity, everyone knows it, why am I even describing it.
Yes, though two months later I barely remember anything about this game, other than the visuals. I recall being stuck on a puzzle, thinking that with the game's physics I could use a wooden box as a raft to cross a pond; then giving up, then seeing a walkthrough which told me to backtrack a bit and grab some other object instead. I felt a bit mislead but after realizing my approach of relying on physics was wrong, following puzzles were just fine. The lonely atmosphere made for some cute moments when friendly creatures did show up. Overall though I don't think this would've been fun for more than 2-3 hours; luckily the game is short and ends exactly then. The game is clearly well made and well thought out, but it just wasn't all that fun. *7/10*
The game is fairly lightweight and, at least for me, runs with no issues in Wine.
