how do people not finish this game, its 4 or less hours and its amazing.
pretty easy, but still trying to find everything

The game is definitely an enjoyable experience the main draw for me was the art style, but maybe a lot of people aren't into puzzle games i know i'm not this was recommended though

Part of it it also because the achievement is only given at the end of a long-ass ending credit.

Then as said above, a huge part of game bought on steam are not even started once.

if you dont start the game, you dont count in achivement stadistic. Only when you gain the first achivement then you enter in the stadistic

Yeah, I don't get how people wouldn't want to finish it either. I was constantly wanting to see what visuals I would get next, or to see if I could deduce the story.

I guess it's simply not some people's cup of tea, especially if you're not into relaxed gaming.

They probably can't get past the stupid pillar in the Red Birds level: like me

It's pretty, and I'll admit there's some puzzle elements, but the amount of time simply walking around and the only punishment for missing a jump or puzzle-timing is more walking... so I put it down when I was at the beginning of green. People laud this game for it's visual storytelling or allegory but nearly an hour in and... maybe it's just not reaching me story wise? It's pretty, and the music works for the tone... but I'm not sure I 'get' the praise for it's 'story'. Maybe it's an after-the-fact thing.

I should also say that it actually is boring for me, because of the lack of challenge. I remember a jump looking ahead that I was like 'oh, a timing challenge' and... nope, a fan unfurled so I just didn't have to jump at all. The game also does not do a great job of communicating foreground/background and the layer gameplay is on. Some platforms 'end' while you're running on them so you drop down, the slope under the red balloon is traversable only before you free the balloon to move upward to where you actually could use that slope.

42% is very high compared to most games.

[svyatss]

too tedious for me. i'll finish anyway because i don't like low achievements percentage :)

[ctclonny]

I finished the game but didn't enjoy it because the dynamic range is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ large.
I would be deaf if I didn't adjust the volume time to time.

simple 2 answers because i wont be finishing it i may uninstall it
this game is like aer but with 0 backwards progression that means if you notice a passage or someone tells you hey you miss a memento you have to A) restart the game or B) complete the game and make sure to do everything perfect the second time.
if the game didnt force you to play perfect than alot more player would play it theres no checkpoints to restart no counter to so progress unless you read a guide to follow every inch you cant 100%


long answer short
1 no way to fix a mistake if until its too late to know you made one
2 no clear guidance

for reference i made it like half way through the water stage and i saw i missed the first memento there apparently was 1 before the stars and ive wasted 3 hours on 3 runs im not gonna go for a fourth run too much work for a game meant to be relaxing and immersive

I'm not far enough yet but the guides seem to imply that there is at least chapter select if not more?

[control-SEVEN]

I just got the green achievement and stopped to buy the soundtrack

[Darqion]

i played 15 minutes yesterday and it was just holding right and jumping without any risk or.. anything. just some pretty visuals. i can see how people might wanna bail out after a start like that. I got the game in a bundle so i dont really know much about it, but it didnt really give me a reason to want to play much more.

I do intend to beat it, but i can see why some people would be uninterested

After you beat the game once, a Chapter selection becomes available. It even tells you when you beat the game. You must not be one of the 42%.
