Before I try and tell you things less emotively, I am going to briefly gush.
Everything about this game sings; the visuals, the soundtrack, the story
and the walk itself. It is sad and beautiful and grim and hopeful. It delighted
me and frustrated me and enthralled me. It sucked me in, and I loved it.

You play the Burnt One, who having borrowed some eyes and some ears
heads off into the world. A quest awaits, one leading to Moon Mountain.
The journey is littered with tribulations and stories, and the world is a dark place.
Monsters dwell, shambling and shaking, and you will run and hide and even blink
in order to avoid them. Matches and candles will be an illuminating staple,
sometimes opening new paths, sometimes just providing a bit of cheer,
perhaps even stopping you from freezing to death.

Fire walk with me.
