Played it through on the SD when it released last year, took me 32 hours. Now I’m 8 hours into my second run and it’s as fun as the first time. Perfect Steam Deck game.

This game, man. Fucking love it. You know that scene in Ratatouille, where the food critic takes a bite and is transported back in time to his childhood? I got this feeling, hard, when this game clicked for me.
I remember as a kid buying Links Awakening for my new Game Boy Color, the first real gaming system I got to own myself, instead of playing at a friends house. Like all new games I bought at the time, I would open them in the car on the way home to look at the manual, to hype myself up EVEN MORE for this gaming experience I am about to be blessed with.
If you’ve played both games, you know that the Tunic book is heavily inspired by Links Awakening and other similar game manuals. That shit was wild, as a 33 year old Boring Fucking Adult, I got to feel that same feeling again, and it was glorious.
And then I played more and caught onto the clues. The whole game, in front of you the whole time, but so cleverly hidden. Can’t say much more than that without ruining it. Be curious, and observant.
