    Ultimately the story doesn’t make the most sense, especially with the substantial shift I had at the end, but that didn’t affect my enjoyment of the game overall. It was beautiful and complex. Silly characters and a surprisingly deep and thought-provoking story kept me wanting to see how it would play out. With this being Paralune’s first game, I was completely blown out of the water with their work. They found a way to balance a mechanically simple game and an emotional story very well. I look forward to my next adventure with them.

    At the heart of Mythic Ocean is the notion that complex societies are resistant to one-size-fits-all, top-down solutions, no matter how benevolent a ruler’s intentions are. Such an obvious lesson is not exactly a revelation, but I enjoyed the manner in which the developers illustrate the point — with levity and a plot twist that reminded me of the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges.

    Cute and Calming
    Mythic Ocean is a 3 and a half hour long adventure game, you’ve lost your memories, this eel tells you to go explore, find and talk to these gods, so you do just that, you explore this tiny ocean floor, talk to sea horses and dolphins, find each areas god, they’ll usually have an issue that requires you to find and talk to the other gods, so youll do a lot of fast traveling back and forth, talking to this one, choosing the right dialogs to get them to help the previous god and solve their issues, its really a nice calming game, there isn’t much else to it… you swim around, talk to fish, there are no puzzles, there are some hidden pages for this book for oyu to find that you can use to help sway th outcome of th story though… as there are multiple endings, one of the gods gets to become the new creator and start a new world..
    but I was surprised how much I enjoyed just relaxing and how calming this game was, any sort of anxieties were calmed as the fish would talk to me and I would talk to them through their problems..
    Mythic Ocean wont blow you away, there are no crazy cinematics and I didn’t really ejnoy the story going on,
    But this was a special experience, one more about hey, relax and meet some new friends, hear their stories, and push them on a right path to their happiness.
    I give Mythic Ocean
