Overview:

You’re a lighthouse…yes, a lighthouse…who has a bird friend whom you saved from a bunch of flying bugs and you’re both trying to get to the top of a mountain to reunite the bird with their family.  Also, you have legs so you can traverse the world in which you’ll come across puzzles, ancient relics, and friendlies along the way.  The premise for this game is way out there but it works and the game and characters become very endearing.  I never thought I’d relate to a sentient walking lighthouse, but here we are.

Visuals:

You ever see the most beautiful game and then a new one comes out and trounces it completely?  That’s what happened here.  The Keeper just looks amazing.  The characters look impeccable…for being a lighthouse…and the bird friend looks like no bird I’ve ever seen.  The world is a mix between a surrealistic world and a dream.  Kind of like the movie, “What Dreams May Come” and it does an amazing job.  The lighting in the world also looks superb because it better with you being a lighthouse.  What a beautiful game.

Audio:

The sounds and music in this game are just charming.  You don’t really hear much dialogue between anything other than the chirps of your bird friend and the groans from other creatures you meet.  The music in this game, to use a previous word, is incredible as well.  It’s just the right amount of ambience and funk that make this game so unique.  I don’t really have a complaint on what I’ve witnessed.

Completion:

I’m still working on this game but I had to write something down because this game is hitting on all cylinders.  It has been enough of a relaxation game where it’s made me happy to play only to change now into a platformer but still be super cute.  Now I’m something completely different and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.  I really adore this game and I can’t say a bad word about it yet.

I FINISHED THIS GAME! Just when I thought I had seen everything, the game changed it up on me two more times and just got better with each and every change. This really is a special game.
