While majority of these are meant to just block you off from advancing, at points in chapters starting from 3, you get new spirit abilities. Puzzles in the game are either bringing a light spirit to a sigil or barking at statues to make them match.

When you’re not going through vast open areas, you’ll be locked in areas that require you to solve puzzles to proceed. I never quite got the hang of how running worked in the game either, as at times you’ll just stop running, even when holding down the button for it, adding to the earlier issues, and when you’re timed for anything, it makes it a much bigger issue. On their own, neither of these are a problem, as long as a game feels it’s designed with that in mind, but the multiple platforming sections are often moments of frustration as you will constantly miss jumps. Jumps are final and take commitment, turning around isn’t instant and you need to way for your whole body to make a wide turn, moving you around in the process. ON ALL FOUR PAWSĪs you play as a fox in the game, movement isn’t industry standard and in a way feels almost antiquated. The game never outright says why things are the way they are or why you want to go to the source of the red smoke, leaving it up to the player to discover on their own what the game is showing.

Throughout the game’s eight chapters you go through the previously mentioned field of snow and ice, to a calm, green ravine, to a field next to a lake, to a war torn, destroyed castle town covered in in tumor-like growths and full of corpses of the past residents. With nothing in the way, right immediately off of the title screen, you start your journey in a barren, cold field of snow near the mountains, with red smoke seen in the distance, you start your adventure to get to it’s source.
