I really loved this game. It was gorgeous, unique, interesting, and fun. You play as a young shapeshifter on a pilgrimage through a ruined world in the sky.

Kynseed is a very pretty pixel-art Rune Factory style farm RPG that’s here less as a real rec and more as something to be aware of it — it is still very much in EA, but what's there already is lovely.

I got it for $4 on sale and that was honestly a steal, it was great and at least 15 – 20 hours of gameplay without even going for all the achievements. Love love loved it.

Works great if you’re a fan of Junji Ito’s works. It has a cool artwork, fairly robust mechanical foundation, and it’s short while providing great replayability, so give it a try.

If gender and race representation are important to you this is definitely worth checking out, but if you need high polish and deep gameplay first and foremost it’s probably not for you.

Interesting ideas, but it feels very half-baked. About the only computer knowledge you really need is how to navigate the command line, and even then, the game provides a GUI for navigation anyway.

Might have enjoyed it more if walking and navigating wasn’t such a chore, but overall it’s still just some pretty simple puzzles in a featureless white void. Interesting concept, but not worth money.

Shameless Portal ripoff with less complex puzzle design, but has clever elements and since it's freeware you have nothing to lose.

If you don’t mind an action-platformer-with-Metroidvania-elements as opposed to an actual Metroidvania, it’s perfectly fine. But it didn’t really scratch the right itch for me, and its expensive.

Overall, I think this was an interesting idea, but it needed clearer means of progression and a few more quality-of-life improvements. I actually do think the mystery works better as a linear story.
