The WhatsNext verdict

For Players who want a quiet, sad story told through a fox's search and the traces a grieving couple left behind.: Its story unfolds through spaces and small objects, so each place you walk through adds weight to two families' losses and their slow pull toward hope. Tradeoff: Players who want action or a steep challenge will find the pace slow and the gameplay gentle.
