I adored this game, from the atmosphere to the story, it was such a fun game and really drove me in. I've always loved fairy tales, and being Scandinavian myself this game hit really close to home, while still feeling really fresh and imaginative.

My criticisms of the game would be mainly that sometimes some puzzles were not super intuitive, and at a few points during the game I would end up with an extremely full inventory because I'd just have a million objects and no idea what to do with them, at the same time as I knew I needed different items to resolve the puzzles/quests I already had started.
I also was sad at how abruptly the game ended. After such a long-winded and honestly epic journey (for a point-and-click adventure), it was somewhat jarring and sad to end on the climax.

However, I feel like the strengths definitely outweigh the shortcomings of the game, and even though I wanted more for the ending, the journey made up for it for me. The mystical atmosphere that leaves you in wonder - yet never feeling completely safe - is just executed so well. I feel at home and in a foreign place at the same time playing this game, and the characters are great as well.

Definitely recommend!
