Minute of Islands is a well told game. Mos burden and the resulting interpersonal conflicts delivery an emotional bond to the characters and suck you into the game and its world. You still only get a visual novel level of gameplay with this concept in mind but if you're ok with it, you'll get a fascinating and beautiful experience from studio Fizbin.
