Just completed. Amazing games, it reminds me Ico, but it has a great storyline,a nice art direction and good musics.
It's one of the best game I've played.
Vote if you want it on GOG

Already voted :). I tried a demo on my PS3 and I would like to buy it. However I purchase indies only in DRM-free package. Very unusual settings and protagonist.

Allow me to repost my Steam recommendation again:

"Ba ha ha video games can't deal with any sort of real-world issues!"
"Yeah? How about THIS!"
"Oh no I am undone! HSSSSSS!"

Papo & Yo is an extremely metaphorical game about a boy's relationship with his abusive, alcoholic father (I don't think that's really a spoiler, considering the trailer makes that fairly obvious), and it's based on the lead designer's own childhood experiences. The game deals with the issue absolutely brilliantly. It really perfectly conveys the mixture of love, fear, and pity Quico feels. It's also a fantastic example of gameplay-story integration, one of the best I've played. The gameplay of alternating between working with and running from Monster really makes you feel the themes, which wouldn't work in any other medium. To top it off, the gameplay is actually quite fun, and the graphics and music are both gorgeous. If you value games as a storytelling medium, play Papo & Yo.

Are you actually suggesting that Ico doesn't have these things?

I approve of this message.

It does look like an interesting game but i am a bit fed up with indie game since they disappoint most of the time. Hell most of them are 5 hours long and it takes me weeks to finish...

Or is this not an indie or actually a good one?

Yeah but does it play well? A lot of those "good" indies are actually really frustrating to play due to controls or balancing or gameplay that just doesn't work well.


Like i said: i am really interested in it but have been burned way too much with indies....

It's circa 4-5 hours long. I don't know if it's any good but it receives a lot of praise and I enjoyed the demo. It's basically platformer with environment puzzles.

The controls are a little bit "floaty" and it is possible to get stuck (or Monster get stuck). The puzzles are not too original nor tasking, and it is possible to run through it in a 2-3 hours. But it is ohh so charming and well executed.
