I play this fine game. And quite enjoying so far . . . actualy I've made my little youtube channel and this is the first game series (" gaming_first " is my channel, don't want to spam anyone but check it out). Currently 3 parts and counting. I arrived in the courtyard...
I feel detached when playing this game, after playing Pillars of eternity (kinda dark) or Sleeping Dogs (kinda fun and violent) this feels like a break :D

Yep, it's very easy and relaxing. The graphics are charming. I only wish the guard armor, in which I spent more than a half of my total playtime, did not slow Tilo down so much.

I bought the game in its development stage; and played it with my daughter. I ended up buying it for xbox and she just finished recently; I'm still working on it. It is a much better experience on a bigger screen with a console controller.

As far as artwork, and theme this game is really untouchable, the story leaves a lot to the imagination which is refreshing in a video game. It's like when you just finish reading a great novel and then imagine yourself, as a character inside the novel.

I can't think of any other anthropomorphic game attempted that comes close to what this captures.

Just finished it. 15+ hours of playtime (recorded by the game - not counting reloads and such).

The ending seemed like a sequel for the game was planned. Any idea if that's true?

Yes, a sequel is in the works!

I understand not holding your hand in order to play the game, but it can daunting trying to finish quests without a clue on how to progress.
