Now, all of that being said, we all know that graphics are the least important part of a game. I’m sure his hipster ‘art friends’ will really appreciate it when they all get together to pretentiously fawn over his creative merit the next time they all get together to try it out over their local Starbucks’ wifi.

The game revolves around guiding a clichéd, boy protagonist on an adventure through the woods near his secluded home, all the while slogging through random encounters and the most mind-numbing of RPG tropes.Īs you might expect from such a game, the graphics are rudimentary at best.
