The first chapter, set in the grassy confines of a farm, suffers the worst as the simplicity of its design only adds to how underwhelming it looks. The gorgeous cutscenes are unfortunately somewhat undermined by the in-game presentation, with the game jarringly switching from high resolution cinematics to low resolution visuals as soon as you take control. Whilst some may lament this approach, I found that leaving more to the imagination actually added more to the narrative than it took away. No words are spoken, but it also doesn’t need to either. The beautiful cutscenes really help make the stories heartwarming, and I found most of them to be quite compelling. Another is a young inventor who, after one too many falls from his failed flying machines, decides to just give up his dream. One girl stricken with grief after a car hits her cat hides herself away in a world full of clockwork, with her wishing for time to stop still as not to deal with what the reality of what happens next. ![]() ![]() Each one focuses on a particular individual dealing with some kind of trauma, and you are there to help defeat that darkness within them. It’s difficult to care about either of the two personality-devoid protagonists, especially given their laughable backstories however, the real charm of the narrative lies within the mini tales told within each of the game’s twelve acts. The host is a mysterious white hatted fellow called Balan, who tasks the children with entering the various stages and clearing them of the negative emotions corrupting them.

Now, what was Balan going to do with the naughty, lil' Lance.Our story starts with one of two selectable children: there’s Leo, a street dancer that’s averse to making friends, and Emma, a rich kid who thinks people are talking about her behind her back. With how huge he was, Balan had no issue catching up to Lanxe without even trying. It took a while for Lance to find Balan's face behind his mountain-like pecs, but once he found it, he could see that Balan had a playful, confident smile. So here's Lance, flying away from Balan, trying to not be caught by Balan, but when he felt himself covered by a huge shadow, he looked at his side, only to be shocked by the sight of a huuuuuge Balan, being in his true, human form. One of my favorite things from the game were some scenes in the "Balan's Bout" minigame, where sometimes the main villain, Lance, appeared to fight with Balan, and had some cute, rivalry interactions with each other. Maybe if you'd be interested you could draw some situation from some characters there, if you know anything about it." I remember seeing videos of it ragging on it but it seems like a sweet passion project of the director. ![]() "One kinda unrelated thing to June but something I heard about that is rather unfortunate is that the director of Balan Wonderworld left Square Enix and seems the series will be at a halt.
