This is a beautiful light platformer with a touch of a walking simulator. A relaxing and immersive game with a heavy spiritual overtone to it with Hinduistic and Buddhist influences. It reminded me of Ancient Knowledge and other reviewers have mentioned Journey which is on my wishlist.
This is not a walk in the park as you have to work your way through different environments and challenges on your way to enlightenment. That sounds really heavy, but the game is quite light and enjoyable.
Music is lovely with Indian overtones to it, but it did wear thin after a while. I only got half of the achievements despite going back in to hunt for them. Dunno where they were?!
If you're looking for something unusual...this is it. Highly recommend. 8/10

This is basically "The Journey: Indian edition"
There isn't much to say here, acually. On first sight you can see that this game is HEAVLY inspired by "The joruney".
Now mind you, it has some pretty anoying flaws, but for such a low price it's really not a bad game.
+ Beautifull music and visuals
- Launches VR.... for some reason
- Bad optimization on some parts
- Linear path through the game
- The puzzles (at least the amount that i did) aren't really that challenging.
- The intro section could be a bit shorter

I'm not a good on making reviews, so I will just share my experience with the game.
The sound tracks are really good, makes you feel immersed on the universe and gives a good vibe.
The beginning is a little bit too long and the puzzles are simple and in the same style (would be awesome to have different types of puzzles in the next episodes).
If you enjoyed the game "Journey", high chances of you enjoying this one.
Generally speaking I loved the game and was totally worth the money!
Highly recommended!

So this is a tough one, while technically I give the game a thumbs up - you might find it not worth your time.
Quick score: music 9/10, graphics 8/10, atmosphere 9/10, gameplay 5/10, story n/a
This is supposed to be a "deep" game to make you think, reflect etc. in this for me it failed - it offers a few "contemplation points" where you sit and get 2 lines of text, this text while apparently supposed to be philosophical is rather non-sensical and does not make me find any deeper meaning in it - despite me being rather open to such ideas. What make this even worse is a rather unsatisfying ending(I am not even sure what its supposed to mean if anything).. it does have a "to be continued" so maybe in an expansion or update we will get more.
Game-play - well there is not much to it, it's a super simple platformer with a few "hidden" secrets, time to complete 2-3h, the game does have a few bugs and it's apparently possible to get stuck or break it in some way - hopefully it will get an update.
Despite all the criticism I don't regret buying/playing Areia, if you know what to expect(and I did) than you will probably not be disapointed though also probably not thrilled. I wish this game got some more work put into it, maybe an expansion.
What got me liking it was the atmosphere and music. Overrall it's an OK game with a not fully realized potential.
