My favorite bird is the peregrine falcon, so it was amazing to find it in the game! I love how Alba blends relaxation with learning about animals and the environment. The visuals and wholesome story made it such a heartwarming experience.

Loved the wholesome, charming atmosphere of the game, and found the sound design of the birds and waves really relaxing, super glad I played along for this episode as I had a surprising amount of fun! Question: What was your favorite character interaction? I am not ashamed to admit I laughed to myself at an elderly woman's nostalgia when reminiscing on bungee jumping, only for another to reveal it was last week.

Rapid fire criticisms: - I was intrigued to learn this game was from the team behind the Monument Valley games. It was their first crack at an open world game which kinda explains the simplistic art style, the amount of pop in and the sometimes frustrating camera. - The game lacks a lot qol features. For one thing, you can't easily tell if an animal has been scanned yet without slowly checking with the camera which gets annoying since most of the animals are birds and they all look very similar. - I wish you could scan the dogs and cats. - Does the number of signatures even matter in the end? - It feels strange that one of the quests wasn't to clean up all the graffiti with that paint roller you find. Question: Do you think the mayor's hotel plan is really as evil as the game clearly wants you to think? Nobody seemed bothered about the nature reserve before Alba came along so it makes sense to me that the mayor would want to create jobs on the island and bring tourism in with this Hotel. Prediction: The game will end up at 71

I know absolutely nothing about this game, but the kid is giving me Ness EarthBound vibes and I very much approve!
