PARADISE MARSH
Developer/publisher LazyEti Format PC Release TBA
Sitting on a damp log at the halfway point between Proteus and Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is where you’ll find this gentle firstperson wetland adventure, which evokes sensations of a childhood day spent among nature, one that seems to go by in a blink. (It’s also the kind of place to which we can imagine Mord and Ben from Wide Ocean Big Jacket going on a date.) Armed with only your curiosity and a bug-catching net, you must creep up to fireflies, frogs, spiders and more before swiping to document them in your journal. But there’s much more to discover here, with poems found in bottles bobbing in a brook, campfires to warm your hands, and stones to skim. Before you know it, the sun has set and risen once more, and it’s time to leave. Even as your eyelids grow heavy, you’ll want to savour every last peaceful moment.
