It’s a puzzle game at its core, but the scenes, color, and even the name tell such a beautiful story. My son loved the color aspect of it because we played Hue together. This was a pretty good talking piece in my little family about mental health, especially since my son is super sensitive. But this game was so well done! Speaking from the perspective of someone who has experienced great loss and manages depression and anxiety, the music and opening scene cued the overall theme to me immediately. I can only imagine it did the same for many others who played the game.
One thing the really struck me is something that I tell myself when dealing with an episode of depression. Things only seem hard because you’re in the midst of it. Once you find the solution, it’s like “duh, why didn’t I think of this before?” Offering yourself a bit of grace and patience when going through something hard, regardless of what people on the outside are saying, is key to getting better, feeling better, and living better.
Ultimately, I loved this game! Well done! I have to go back and get all the achievements but I honestly don’t mind playing it again.
