      If you haven’t already, you all need to check out this game. I am not a gamer at all but I saw a trailer for this on YouTube and we bought it for our switch. (It’s only $17) It is, by far, the most beautiful game I have ever seen. It’s visually stunning and the music is gorgeous. My husband and I were captivated. If you have a switch, you should buy this. And if you don’t, you need to check out the trailer. I still have goosebumps. And, no, I was not paid to say any of this. 😆😆

          @peteolczyk Yea. Very unique. And, it does not disappoint... unless you’re super into first person shooters or something. ☺️You don’t die or anything, but there are challenges to unlock new colors and star constellations.

              Very pretty. It reminds me of Eyvind Earle.

                  @Pamela-Fraley It is beautiful! (We just brought back the color green) - reminds me in way of Monument Valley - puzzle games are great to play with the kiddos on a rainy Portland Sunday - thanks for the recommendation 🙂

                    @Pamela-Fraley I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I thought I might add in another gorgeously illustrated game. Have you ever played Gorogoa? It's a game done entirely by its illustrator, Jason Roberts, who had never done a game before. He did over 1000 illustrations for the game, all by hand, as well as most of the game itself (not the sound or music, though). He developed it on his own. Took him 5 years.

                    As the player, you interact with his drawings which then animate as you figure out how the puzzle challenges unfold, overlapping images and putting them in specific alignments to connect the images together and progress the story forward.

                      @Kevin-Longueil I'm so glad! Isn't it mesmerizing?! My husband and I just unlocked blue. The whole time we were playing it, I was thinking, I need to tell people about this!! The puzzles are fun too. Its a little like figuring out the shrines in Breath of the Wild. I haven't actually played that one, but my boys play it.

                        @Coreyartus Wow!! That's so cool. I think its amazing that graphics technology has gotten to the point where artists can really hone in on the visual aspects of games. Those illustrations remind me of The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base. I'll have to see if we can get that one.
