If on a Winter's Night, Four Travelers

Personally, I think the third act is the strongest and basically where it's at. The first act of the game is an acceptable opener, the second act is horrendously dull and painful due to confusing puzzles (well, at least for me. Namely the last puzzle of the act) and the incredibly slow movement speed of the player character. I get what it's going for, and I even appreciate it, but just cumbersome act of playing the game at that point takes me out of it. It's just not well done and frustrating. And no, it's not like Pathologic [Мор. Утопия].
The third act however more than makes up for all of this. The story and atmosphere is as on point as the other two (and more), but the gameplay and puzzles actually feel great to play and are easy to understand as well. Specially the ritual puzzle at the beginning of the act. The atmosphere is T H I C C and stays T H I C C throughout, the dialogues and the story is great and ambitious... overall really damn good.
The pixel art and music I should mention is really gorgeous. Also the game has a certain taste and attitude I should mention that might not please everybody, but you have to admit it's well done for what it wants to be and do. (It can and might have a snobbish stank.) And the fact that the game is only made by two people is honestly bonkers.
All in all, I hope I'm just stupid and the puzzle in second act isn't as hard in actuality as it was to me, because this game was an effort of passion and love and even if it's just for the third act, I recommend you to play it.
