The Stillness of the Wind Hack 1.03 + Redeem Codes

Beautiful story, but dear GOD!! Five dollars for the shortest game of my life. If the storyline was more spaced out and the days were longer to focus on growing the farm, this game would be a 5/5, no problem. But before I knew it, it was night time as soon as I got up.. and everything on my farm was dead, even though the game does give you opportunity to guard it, the opportunities fell through. I understand why the days grew shorter, and yes it added to the storyline, but there is absolutely no being at least somewhat successful in this game. There isn’t any “winning”, which I understand (the storyline is the main focal point, and once again, it's beautiful). Unfortunately at the same time, I’m completely upset I spent this much for such a short game. I loved that I was able to support the artists, in a way they did an amazing job of creating the feeling of wanting more. But I feel in the end I spent way too much money for such an abrupt stop. It was an excellent game, I just wish that it was either a lower price for the amount of gameplay, or a greater amount of gameplay for the higher price.

I get stuck in the cheese maker barn all the time. She just won’t move! Then I want to drop a bucket to greet the mail guy but can’t sometimes and he goes away even though I’m chasing him like a foot behind! I have two goats but don’t have time to milk both and finish one cheese till the mailman gets there and then it’s like 1 minute till dark. No time to water the crops much less get eggs. Explore? How? I can make one time around the property before the day is 3/4ths over. One trip to the well, water 5 crops plus get some eggs equated to a day. Forget milking the goats of making cheese which is what you trade for. Don’t grow flowers.. waste of my energy. You move at the pace of an old lady and I get she’s the point but I just don’t see how I could ever save anything throughout to make the game seem like I’m getting anywhere. I had 3 shotgun shells and I hit both wolves but in the morning one of my goats was still gone. I just get no where.. oh and where the hell os the phone? It rings.. I look all around and bap at the telephone pole.. nothing for me.

This game is lovely, what with the story and characters. However, it must not be far along in development or something. There are glitches all the way through, and while I paid for this game because I thought it would be peaceful and relaxing, the glitches lead it to be very stressful and frustrating. I am hoping these are fixed in an update very soon. Some glitches include: getting stuck in the “wind”; dropping my basket and not be able to pick it back up (she shakes her head “no”); game not saving after going to sleep, and instead, waking up to some gloomy looking stormy, blotchy,
gray scene where I cannot move the character. I am very sad because I truly like this game and am excited for its potential, but having paid for it, I am disappointed that it is not a better quality.

i got this game because the graphics looked beautiful and i was intrigued by the idea of creating a routine for her virtual farm. the graphics didn’t disappoint but the game itself really did. i understand that it follows a storyline and the farm life isn’t the main focus, but that’s really all that i enjoyed. the letters were pointless and the family members weren’t intriguing. talma would receive an ominous letter yet would continue around daily life- as long as the sunlight would allow. on that, the days are way too short. she moves so slow, it’s hard to finish all the tasks once the days start getting shorter. also, the wolves?? it was so disappointing and frustrating to find my animals dead and not be able to protect them or her. i finished this game in about three hours because i had NOTHING else to do. now i’m playing it through again to see if i can play with a better strategy in mind and maybe get a more gratifying gameplay experience, but i highly doubt it. this game is worth a dollar or two, tops. don’t waste five on it.

The graphics of this game are absolutely stunning! Beautiful colors, beautiful movements, and a beautiful style. It’s just a little challenging at first to understand as there is no tutorial. Definitely worth the $5 even though it might seem like a lot for an app store game.

One thing though is that if you’re me, sometimes you drop an object in the wrong place and it gets stuck in a wall. It doesn’t register so I’ve been stuck having to delete and redownload multiple times. This is kind of annoying, but I haven’t made it far enough for it to really be the end-all-be-all. But I do wish to make it farther into the game than what I have been.

I wanted to love this game - and did, despite the slowness - but I feel like at the pace it is, the merchant could be a LITTLE more affordable. I traded over half my stuff for a dumb billy goat only for it to disappear. I shot the wolf so I know it didn’t die. Then the merchant shows up with a billy goat! Some say he stole it! I feel like the game should have a trade off - either expensive, thieving merchant and FASTER or keep the pace and fix the issues. My hands hurt from tapping and waiting. And you can only water 4 crops then have to walk all the way back!!! At least give the merchant a bigger can to give us... then steal back. Sorry but overall it’s just TOO “zen” for me. Lovely minimalist graphics tho and I wanted to see more letters & dreams but it isn’t worth waiting for another goat or some miracle.

Every time I open the app, I get to play for about 2 minutes before it inevitably crashes. It doesn’t seem to matter what I’m doing, and it has crashed even when I wasn’t interacting with anything. Since the game saves every night, I’m not able to progress at all. I’m really disappointed that I wasted my money on what could have been a beautiful and enjoyable experience. I played its predecessor Where the Goats Are, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I’m sure this game is just as lovely and harrowing, but I’m worried I’ll never be able to play it. I’m hoping for a patch soon, and I did spend actual money, so I’ll keep it for now and be on the watch for future updates.

I’ve really been enjoying this game. The ambient sound and simple graphics are very charming and really make the game its own. The letters are a nice touch.
One thing I think that could be improved is the day length. Daily activities either take too long, or the day is too short for me to finish everything I need to do. The short days often lead me to miss the postman, or waste some milk that I was about to make into cheese. I understand that Talma is supposed to move slowly, so instead of increasing her speed, I would lengthen the day a little bit.

This game had everything I hoped it would have.

The world was very imaginative, despite you only experiencing it through letters and books. The graphics were beautiful. The story was warm and sad.

The movements and actions are very slow, which at first is frustrating. However, after you play for a bit you adjust to this slower pace and it gives the game a calming effect. Very anti-anxiety. Perfect for a quarantine.

The only downside of the game would be a few glitches that the creators are working on fixing. I didn’t encounter these until the end of the game, so they didn’t inhibit my experience much. My basket went missing and my pail was stuck in the fence.

The only other downside is how short it is. It was so beautiful and imaginative I didn’t want to stop playing.

This is a beautiful game, both and it’s look at it storytelling. There seem to be some sporadic bugs in the game that do affect gameplay. In my last game my watering cans disappeared halfway through, and I couldn’t tell whether this was a bug or part of the storyline. So far all my games have ended the same way, although they took different amounts of time to get to that ending. I wonder whether the developer can speak to whether it is possible to achieve different endings in the game?
