A winter morning on the beach by E. Cuchel
This is a very short game, where you’re taking a calming walk by the seaside. But I’m afraid the experience was anything but calm for me. So many things I wanted to try it woudn’t allow. And then I would repeatedly hit an end game stage. Very much not lowering my blood pressure.
I’m all for a relaxing low-stakes walking game. I’m all for just exploring a place by sense. And I live by the seaside, so this is all very familiar. But so many things I wanted to do the game wouldn’t support. And then I’d get pooped on by a seagull again. Which to be fair is fairly authentic!
I think there’s a really nice core idea here, but wish the author had opened things up more for the player. It could be really good. But at the moment I’m just finding it frustrating. And very not calming. Sorry!
