“I tried. I'm doing my best.”
Blurb: a depressed girl decides to climb a mountain, only to discover that the place brings your mind to life. And the girl's mind really, REALLY doesn't like her. The mountain and her own mind seems to fight her every step of the way, leading her to wonder: why is she doing this?
Why is it worth your time?: It's really good. Easy to learn, hard to win, fun to play, beautiful soundtrack, striking visuals, and weds its themes to its gameplay. I loved playing this game and regret that I've been unable to play the expansion due to injury. We wrote a more personal, spoilers-included explication of why we love it here.
Plural Tags: realitymashing, fusion/integration
Content Warnings: In comments below; contains spoilers. This game is kid-friendly!
Accessibility Notes: This game is HARD. Let's Plays get through it in roughly 20 hours, but it took us 140+, and we haven't done the expansion pack. Access Mode allows you to toggle various settings (such as game speed, increased stamina, and invulnerability) to make it more playable for folks who can't manage the intense twitch reflexes required. I had to use the mode myself to complete the game, and I appreciated that the game did not insult or punish me for it. That said, the voice audio is intentionally jibberish, and the text cannot be resized. There are Let's Plays for this game, but I haven't watched any and thus cannot recommend any in particular.
This game is also available in German, English, Castilian Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Portugal), and Russian.
