Melt into your chair with this relaxing stroll through the forest
This narrated gameplay video forHoa,a chill-out-in-nature platformer adventure, is soothing beyond words. It’s the brain-massaging tranquility I needed to cap off the week. It’s seven minutes well-spent. You know that feeling you get when you think about HOAs as, like, aconcept? Think the exact opposite.
You might recognizeHoafrom the Nintendo Indie World presentation late last year, but if not, no worries – art director and Skrollcat Studio co-founder Son Tra is here to calmly bring us up to speed.
Not that much actually happens on-screen in this early portion of the game – it’s a lot of bopping around from leaf to leaf – but the lush forest backgrounds, the big-eyed insect companions, and the sweeping soundtrack sure paint a charming picture. Things don’t always have to be complex when coziness will more than suffice. I can see this clicking with families and younger players, especially.
