This is one of those games that left me feeling a bit bewildered in terms of how I felt and what to say about it. I can appreciate a “less is more” approach when it is handled well, never knowing where things are headed and hopefully being able to enjoy the disorientation of everything as a part of the overall experience. Here, though, more often than not the lack of clear direction, and plain funky game mechanics that didn’t always make much sense, had a tendency to be an irritation rather than a benefit. Perhaps my overall situation with time makes me too impatient, but I’m really not a fan of games that feel like they’re wasting the hours I have without giving me enough incentive and a vision of a payoff to make it worth my while. If you’re the type who doesn’t mind taking things more slowly and has a bit more patience, Moonrise Fall may work for you, but for me it just left me feeling that the experience was simply sloppier than it should have been.
