Storm Boy

It's a very short story of a boy and his bird. I mean very short, like you'd expect a children's book to be. But the message is a little too sad for a child to enjoy this game. But in the same respect the little mini games are too simple for an adult to feel challenged. So who is this game for? I guess if you enjoyed the book or had fond memories of it or just really like pelicans, wait for it to be on sale for no more than $2 which is how i got it. But the $5 price tag is a bit much considering what the game itself and the simple story entailed.

This is a solid "game" but I'd say it's more of a visual novel. The story is excellent and moving. The music is also fantastic and pairs perfectly with the scenes and helps evoke the emotions the creator is going for. The mini-games are okay. Storm Boy is best for kids in elementary school but possibly up to middle school. It has a good moral to the story that will pull the emotional strings of adults. It reminded me of my first pet and the heartache of loss. The main downside to this story is that it's very short.

pretty game. i turned the background music and enjoyed it even more. who wouldn't like this game? I do agree that it shouldn't cost more than a couple of dollars, but it is nice.
