0-1What you do
John, a quiet miner with a frying pan, and Sam, a girl with strange powers, travel east by train. You switch between them to solve puzzles and fight, while cooking meals that heal and boost you.
0-2Who it is for
Players who love story, atmosphere and detail more than difficulty.
1-1Fridges
Saving at fridges is funny and practical: they are always where you would expect a kitchen. Dungeons place them sensibly before tough sections.
2-1Cooking
Meals made from ingredients you find give healing and buffs. Cooking before a long dungeon makes it much easier.
3-1A slow start
The first chapters take time to build the world. Give it two or three hours before deciding.
Power-ups
- Extraordinary pixel art
- Memorable characters
- Great soundtrack
Debuffs
- Slow early chapters
- Some long gaps between fridges
Hint
When you see a fridge, use it. The next one can be a while away.
Final word
A rich, warm adventure with pixel art that has to be seen.
