I'm a sucker of great (lowkey gay) tropes, and this game just has it good. Great direction with a distinct art style. Although I knew how the story may end right away, I was still amazed by how well implemented each facet of the game was. The music is lovely. I had to go through the music box and credits to search for their source because it fully immersed me in the intensity of this story. Can't wait to play what else this studio has planned!
I had a blast playing this game! the story is so well written, I fell in love with the art and atmosphere of it, it feels like I was fully immersed into it. I really look forward to your future games & stories to come!
Had a lot of fun with this! Visual novels aren't really in my wheelhouse to begin with, so it was fun to branch out and give it a shot.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS:
Would like to see some of the early story points expanded on - namely the brief mention of heirs disappearing. Also thought the housekeeper might have had a role beyond the opening sequence, but that's really more of a sidenote and not detrimental to the story at all.
Overall, I feel like the story was executed well. It did seem to drag a bit in places, but that might just come down to a matter of personal preference. It was an engaging narrative and provided plenty of details early on to get the player invested in uncovering the mystery.
This is my first time playing Stillwater, and I am already hooked for the next adventure of Hugo. I really love the story of grief and forgiveness of the mystery with its uses of symbolism related to water and how well written the characters are. I love the illustrations of the game as well the uses of colors for certain scenes to convey its grief aspects, as well love seeing all of the concepts sketches of everything!
Absolutely love the remastered version! I wasn't too sure what else could be improved upon in the original but after playing through the newest version, I have to say I love the dialogue, extra scenes, added lore, and more professional graphics. Practically screamed when I saw a confirmed sequel in the creator's notes. Definitely looking forward to the next one!
