    Unraveling the mysteries of the game mechanics set in this mystical environment is the main motivation. At least until you are lulled into the tranquil setting and start realizing that you are following a monotonous future unfolding here and then...

    The heady blend of peaceful and puzzling at work is worth your full attention.

    At the outset, Future Unfolding is magical experience; an elegant world waiting to be explored, with wonder at every step. But with each discovery, the wonder disappears – and isn’t replaced with anything new. Once you’ve uncovered everything the game has to show you, puzzles soon become petty barriers, the magic runs out and the procedurally-generated world loses its charm. In the end, Future Unfolding keeps unfolding for just a little too long.

    Future Unfolding is a game of love and hate. It could be an interesting concept to explore if you like experimental game design and unique experiences, but at its core, more than once the gameplay mechanics simply don't work.

    Future Unfolding has a bold idea behind it, and creatively it is impressive that this game was made from a three-person team. Unfortunately some decisions didn’t quite work in the big picture and there won’t be many hours in the game before the player will stop enjoying the journey and start feeling trapped in a mirror room.

    I think the best I can offer is that if you like the kinds of games I like (and you can get a sense of that through my author tag) I think you will like and value this.

    If you enjoyed games like Zelda, Journey, and The Witness you might just love this one.
    It’s like Zelda without generic combat.

    It’s like Zelda without generic combat.
    It’s like Journey but with puzzles.
    It’s like The Witness but with action.

    The game is incredibly beautiful and has a dense atmosphere. It will make you relax, but also surprise you all the time. It’s hard to describe the game in more detail without spoiling it.    … Full Review »
