Return. tasks you with helping a cute little ghost find its way back to where it belongs, dodging spikes and hazards along the way.
A couple of things make this journey treacherous, even for a an adorable ghost. You’re able to use a triple jump to hop your way through dangers, but that also means the developer is willing to throw some complex setups in your path to hop through. There are also all kinds of moving platforms and tricky mechanisms you’ll need to work with while midair, so getting those triple jumping skills down is a must if you hope to get your ghost home.
Despite the difficult platforming required, Return.‘s relaxing music and soothing visual style make this a calming experience, even as it grows harder, relaxing the player even as it grows more complex and demanding. However, that same calm implies a certain eeriness as well, a sense of being in some surreal afterlife where there is a little fear about what exactly will be awaiting this ghost when it gets ‘home’.
Filled with a powerful, captivating mood and some intriguing platforming, Return. offers a captivating experience.
Return. is available for free on Steam.
