I loved it. Honestly one of my favorite games this year. It’s incredibly funny but also pretty thoughtful.

It’s not really that much like Getting Over It, in that it’s actually pretty easy to just make the climb. There is a bunch of ultra difficult things to do, but it’s all basically optional, and if you just want to get to the end there is pretty much always a relatively easy path to take. And, while it seems kind of annoying at first, it’s actually generous. You don’t typically fall backwards too far, there’s almost always a backstop, and some of the common failure points actually land you at the foot of an easier path (if you want to take the coward’s way out). It’s actually a really approachable game.

There’s also a bunch of pretty cool hidden things to find, so it’s definitely worth exploring around.
