The Mooseman Reviews
An interesting and widely untold story can't do enough to gloss over The Mooseman's gameplay pitfalls.
The Mooseman is a solid, short adventure with an interesting aesthetic and subject. It will be a bit simplistic for some people's liking, but if you can get past that (and the abstract nature of the narrative) then the game's presentation of this curious ancient mythology is sure to hold your interest.
This game plays out like a storybook and while it won't satisfy most gamers, those who like to read will enjoy the tale.
"Artistic story about Finno-Ugric tribes"

Following the trail of Never Alone , Morteshka offer us the possibility of discovering the myths of the Peri Krai, one of the last tribes of the Urals. We are facing a short proposal only suitable for those who intend to relax and get away from stress, learn a new mythology outside our immediate environment and want to enjoy a truly unique audiovisual section. Undoubtedly, for all those who want to try something different, slow pace and with a perfectly achieved atmosphere, The Mooseman appears as an interesting work that fulfills the maxim of teaching delighting.

The Mooseman doesn’t require much interaction, but its atmosphere, art and music kept me engaged enough to finish it in one sitting.
If you are a lover of the arts and really enjoy the different mythologies from around the world then you definitely owe it to yourself to experience The Mooseman. One of the draws this game had with me was the artistic approach and covering a subject matter I knew little about going in. While not a truly heavy "gameplay" component is in the game, it makes up for with the story telling through lore and collectibles. The art style is also something to behold as it truly feels that you are experiencing the telling of Russian Perm tribes.
The Mooseman tells of Komi people and their mythology. It's surprisingly good 2D platformer that should be treated as a history lesson rather than a game.

The Mooseman tells us a story that is certainly interesting, especially if you are someone who is passionate about each new mythology he discovers, but has serious problems in maintaining interest at the controls despite its short duration.

When reviewing things that are less "games" in the sense you'd normally think of them, and that focus more on ambiance or storytelling, it's always a bit of a challenge...
