Beautiful. I haven't played a game with a sense of exploration this joyful and engaging in a long time. Played for at least half an hour before I began even attempting to accomplish anything. Can definitely see the influence of the Uedaverse but it reminds me more strongly of Another World, minus the difficulty and combat. Maybe that's just me being superficial.
I think the sparseness of interactivity with the gameworld actually enhances the atmosphere, what with having all these exotic creatures who you're incapable of communicating with in any way. Makes me want to get off my arse and create something.
