Per TRS, this is YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* EventObscuringCamera: Because of the nature of the game, the only camera controls you have allow you to rotate the isometric view to the left or right. Sometimes this is not enough to get a clear picture of what you're trying to do. The camera also automatically swings around and this can be disorienting since you're trying to manage two characters with separate movement controls (it can also make you mildly motion sick if keeps whipping around).

* FanNickname: Fans refer to the older brother as Naia, and to the younger brother as Naiee. Both names are based on the terms the heroes use to call each other.



* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The settings are detailed rather spectacularly.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: If you judge the game based off of its publicized content, then it's very easy to mistake this game as a children's title. Although the game does feature two [[KidHero kid heroes]] wandering around a fantasy world while on misadventures, this game is ''not'' appropriate for younger kids. The game features quite a bit of blood, onscreen death, nightmarish sequences throughout the game, [[spoiler: and ultimately ends with one of the protagonists suffering a CruelAndUnusualDeath]]. In fact the whole reason why the boys are on their journey is because their father is ''dying''. Yet despite the "T" rating, this game received nominations for best ''family'' game.

* AntiClimaxBoss: The final battle requires the player to stun the boss with the younger brother so the older brother can damage it. With good timing, it's possible to stun the boss as soon as it recovers, letting you deplete its health with minimal effort.
* AssPull: The brothers save a gryphon halfway through the game, though it appears to die shortly after. In the epilogue, [[spoiler:the creature returns without explanation to fly the younger brother back home]].
* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: Some reviewers consider the gameplay fairly basic and unchallenging, though they still recommend the game due to the charming interactions between the brothers and the surprising ending.



* NightmareFuel: A surprisingly dark game, all told. The valley of dead giants deserves special mention, particularly when the boys must wade through rivers of blood.
** At least none of the giant corpses attack or try to harm the player. No, the part where the game first takes a really dark turn [[DontGoInTheWoods is the forest.]] It's night and the boys are introduced sitting in front of a fire when wolves with eerie glowing eyes show up and will gladly devour either brother if given the smallest chance. As if that wasn't bad enough they also come across a few corpses hanging from the trees while escaping the wolves. How did they get there and why? [[NothingIsScarier The game doesn't say.]] Oh, and just when it looks like the brothers are finally almost out of the woods the [[WhenTreesAttack trees themselves try to kill them.]]

This is so vague it's pretty much a ZCE. I checked both GameFaqs and Steam forums and didn't see anyone having trouble with the flying mechanic.


* ThatOneLevel: It is really difficult to get the hang of flying that hang-glider.
