A great little isometric adventure game. No intelligible dialogue or exposition. Characters make noises, point at things and use gestures. Puzzle solving on several levels as well as traditional platforming and combat elements. Even the leveling system is a puzzle of sorts. The static camera takes a little getting used to but is essential for the game concept. You can get wide angle vistas but you have to earn them. 

It sits with a handful of other recent games that have distilled game play elements down to their essentials and put the focus on balance and aesthetics. If you appreciate really pretty games you should definitely get this.
