I’ve settled on one word for Everdeep Aurora: dense. It’s tightly packed with gameplay and objectives. The compact corridor containing all of its points of interest ensures I’m always engaging with something. I have to unpack the emotions held close to the vest for the characters and tease out deep questions regarding humanity’s darkest instincts. It can also feel impenetrable, with a story that requires a lot of heavy lifting from players. It takes effort to dig through, and there’s gold to find.

Ila is an experience in motion. My heroine’s skatebroom glides over snowbanks, pierces ice sheets, and rockets down winding slopes. Each interconnected but distinct environment holds creative ways to put your skills to the test, along with collectable objects which can increase your wealth, upgrade your fashion, boost your magical abilities, and provide context for the world. Every new environment is a delight to explore, and as I grow more powerful, the layers of each level open up to me.
