I bought this randomly over the Christmas season because the artwork and imagery was cute/unique. I never heard of the game before, nor did I really know what I was buying. It looked like it might have been a Pikman style game.

Well, I guessed right. It is a Pikman style game where you hatch these little creatures. They follow you around and you throw them in the direction of something you want them to interact with. The creatures themselves are cute enough and come in 5 varieties that you unlock as you play. The artwork in my opinion is a nice hand drawn style.

Gameplay wise, I think I got about 20 hours out of this? The story itself is not very long, but if you take your time running around and collecting things you will get more time out of the game. I will say the final boss is a nuisance and feels like a random difficulty spike that is dependent on rng. I struggled with the boss a few times. On the 3rd attempt, he was randomly easier to deal with overall. I do not why. Otherwise, the entire game is fairly laid back and does not place any real time pressure on the player.

I would recommend it, especially if you like Pikman or find this on sale.

On the plus side, this game was a lot of fun (after I initially got the hang of it AND used a walkthrough). The graphics remind me of "Where The Wild Things Are" and the oddball nature of it keeps it interesting. The story follows two children, maybe 10 or so years old, who run away from home into the forest and encounter some strange characters who ask for help defeating an evil presence in the woods, to keep it from going into the outside world.
The game is minimal fighting (unless you set it to a different level where you *choose* the fights to be harder) and mostly puzzles and exploring. You have little critters called Spritelings to fight for you, collect items, break items and help solve the puzzles.
What I didn't like was that the game itself didn't have enough explanation (for my taste). I've been gaming since I was a kid and have had a PlayStation (2, 3 and 4) for about 25 years and play regularly and I felt the learning curve on this one was a bit hard. Mainly it was WHY ON EARTH the bag Wake (the main character) carries kept filling up and how on earth to increase its capacity! Later in the game after you build the main camp there's a station where you can pay a LOT to increase the bag by 1 slot, but it never said how to USE the items, nor how to craft other items (via "recipes") from the weird things you pick up in the forest. It takes some experimentation to make things and then you press Options to use them.
The other thing which was super annoying was not having capacity to carry enough "Pips" which are like eggs to hatch Spritelings, which you need in order to progress. It kept saying the bag is full and wouldn't let me pick up pips but I could pick up other things.
Lastly what I didn't like was that the game cycles through a day/night period and at night, bad creatures come out to get you and you have to interrupt what you're doing (ie. the puzzle you're halfway done with!) and return alllll the way to your camp for the night and sleep until morning. You get very little warning when this happens and it means a lot of extra running around.
All in all I recommend it...probably for anyone 10 and over. That is because there are two uses of mild language in there...by the kids, no less (dumb***) and I didn't like that. I know some people cuss a lot and they wouldn't mind but our family doesn't and I wouldn't want my nieces/nephews seeing that and talking like that. Anyway...just telling you. Overall it's an enjoyable game. The puzzles were fun and challenging but not impossible although I used a walkthrough on most of the middle. The graphics and story were charming and creative.
