So, I tried the demo for this when they first showcased it, and I love DON'T NOD a lot, but I just couldn't get behind this one. Honestly the gameplay was tedious but you get the sense that it's done like that on purpose, it's suppose to feel like a goal when you reach the top of whatever you were climbing. Typically to make up for that kind of flow in games, they make the story very rewarding for the player, and I don't know if it was just me but I just couldn't bring myself to care about the world I was exploring. When I found notes they didn't illicit any sort of emotions out of me they just kind of felt like, hey you found a thing good job, enjoy reading about how this person made some soup or something. I dunno, I really wanted to like it from the aesthetic to the vibe, but I just couldn't. Anyone else kind of feel that way too, or am I crazy?
