![]() Its large mix of echo-infused stringed instruments creates a sound that still stuck with me when I wasn’t playing the game. Capturing the hopeless and unknown qualities of the setting, the soundscapes do a fantastic job of highlighting narrative moments even more effectively. Many tracks feel eerie, giving off an unsettling, oftentimes unnerving vibe. What makes the world even more engaging is the fantastic soundtrack. Its style juxtaposed with the heavy narrative themes make some of the more grotesque imagery of the game more shocking, like one of those old fairy tales but modernized. Plenty of meticulously drawn backgrounds really shine. ![]() It has this children’s storybook look to it. The game opts for an effectively bright hand-drawn style. These small details make the game’s five-hour journey more enjoyable. Seeing what were once bustling theme park attractions turned into nothing more than rusted remains does wonders for world-building. Going into Mo’s uncles’ cabin gave me a good sense of what type of person he was by seeing his living space. Minute of Islands utilizes environmental storytelling here and there to great effect. The islands also have a lot of detail, making exploring them more engaging. I was intrigued by the idea of underground giants within a fantastical world. Hearing things about Mo’s youth, like how she liked to explore and crawl into dark caves, fleshed out her character nicely.Īnd thankfully the world in which the game takes place is compelling. These memories provide a good amount of backstory to help flesh out characters and the world. The game does mix up the puzzles and light platforming with some optional memories Mo can unlock in each area. And I Think to Myself, What Wonderful World-Building The focus is more on the narrative, as opposed to its puzzles. It’s linear and easy to know where to go and what to do next. It’s standard fare but not necessarily challenging. On the gameplay side of things, Minute of Islands plays a lot like a familiar puzzle platformer: activate switches and push blocks to solve puzzles. ![]() ![]() The writing is good, and the characters all serve a purpose in Mo’s quest, but I was left wanting more from its narrative. It leaves the climax of the game feeling a tad unresolved in certain respects. The game tackles relatable themes like self-doubt and family conflict, but these themes aren’t expanded upon as much as I would have liked. Minute of Islands largely centers around Mo’s burden. With that burden comes consequences for both Mo and the people close to her. Our main protagonist, Mo, has been gifted the ability to help cleanse these islands by activating purifiers placed there by skyscraper-tall giants, so she takes it upon herself to help the world alone. People and animals affected by the harmful, lung-infesting spores quickly die. A horrible plague has ravaged the islands what were once bustling places are now abandoned and disheveled. Minute of Islands is a game about sacrificing oneself for the greater good. ![]()

Our Stairway to Heaven adventure in Nepal is our most popular adventure but this new adventure is for the more adventurous rider and presents excellent value. Of course, you still do all the good stuff of the Stairway to Heaven adventure, such as see open-air cremations, ride some amazing roads, and have the Thamel and Pokhara nightlife but you’ll also have 7 days on some of the gnarliest dirt roads on the planet.

To experience the unseen!’’ But at the same time, it was also his most frightening moment. ‘‘The moment was just amazing because I knew I’d make it to the top of this long 2000 ft tunnel, I would not be able to make it on my own power in these extreme environmental conditions.’’ Another great moment was when he first entered the cave. We also asked Marc what his favorite moment was and he told us that it was when he was hoisted up with the winch. He went there alone, when it was time to go up! That was very dangerous! When we told you that this adventure is all about the human experience, that’s just what it was. ![]() We invite you to watch the video produced by National Geographic, to better understand his experience and how they push the human limits! You will also see how the team was tired and scared when Marc decided to go further to see if there was any evidence of another cave. I needed something that could pull no matter the situation! The Portable Winch was the safest option.’’ I choose this winch because it is portable and gas-powered, making it fully independent in a remote area. The winch guaranteed my safe mobility into and out of the cave. When we contacted Marc Beverly to find out more about his experience, he didn’t hesitate to mention that ‘‘without the Portable Winch, the experience would have been too dangerous. Within 20 minutes, Marc Beverly was pulled 2000 ft, to the surface! When the surface crew heard the signal, they started the winch. To communicate with the surface crew, Marc used a horn signal telling them to pull him up.
