    A beautiful, monochrome tale about a whimsical little being on a journey that embodies the fairy theme spectacularly.

    Owl Machine have put out a hell of a debut with Key Fairy. Within is an incredibly artful and picturesque dark fantasy world where the bullet-hell of it all is turned on its head to be a deeply involved, intense and demanding combat experience… without requiring the player to take any combat actions themselves. Zipping and prancing through its equal parts whimsical and horrific environments with beasties, gnomes and wizards is a sheer delight, thanks to its deliberate hand-drawn art style and thoughtfully mapped out and interconnected universe. Playing through Key Fairy isn’t just a fairy tale in and of itself; its entire existence is just that, serving as a magical dream for the Aussie indie game space. Pray tell, might you take a step into that dream world yourself?
