I think I speak for most people when I say that I’m a good representative of the general population.

I recently played through To the Moon, it’s just a few hours long and it’s really just a story with some superficial gameplay elements taped on top. It’s really sad, I cried.
I saw there are a couple sequels and I intend to get to them eventually.

Animal Well is great, it’s a 2d puzzle platformer. I’ve beaten the base game, it took me about eleven hours because I was trying to explore thoroughly, but I get the feeling I’m still not anywhere close to uncovering everything.
There’s not even an attempt at a narrative, but that allows the game freedom to be extremely nonlinear. You’re dropped into the game and you start exploring. You pick up on things you can think of as objectives, but there’s no motivation beyond your curiosity as a player to see what will happen if you complete them.
The gameplay is designed extremely well, but the real selling point is the creepy (yet somewhat cute) atmosphere. The pixel art is amazing.
