Future Unfolding is an action adventure that is all about exploration. Your goal is to unfold the mysteries and solve the puzzles hidden in the beautiful landscapes around you. There are no tutorials, and no one is telling you what to do.
During your journey you encounter different types of wild animals. Some of them are friendly and helpful. Other animals are dangerous — deadly, even. You need to avoid them, or find ways to turn them into friendly creatures.
You can leave the beaten path at any time and hunt down secrets in the forgotten woods. Or go explore in hidden caves. It’s okay to get lost — a detailed auto-map helps you to orient yourself. Over time you map out more and more of the vast environments. There is always a way out. But where to go after?

It's not an easy game to try and sell you on. You'll need to like exploration for the most part. Game play mostly involves searching through almost all the map (randomly generated) to find those key elements to progress. The game gives you next to no guiding information but for some reason figuring out the way forward through some trial and error worked pretty well.
Fair to say if you don't like it after the first or second level, it won't grow on you. The game play loop/levels are pretty repetitious and I could only play one or two levels at a time before quitting out. However I actually enjoyed booting it up, throwing on some of my own music/podcast and knocking out a level in an unwind your brain kind of vibe.
I'll give it a technical thumbs up, it ran fine, was artistically something a bit different and I enjoyed it enough for what it is. I grabbed it for 90% off so that probably helped my opinion on it. At full price, I'm not sure I could recommend it. Great for short play bursts but it's clearly not a game for everyone.

It's like a dream. Nothing seems to make sense, and it doesn't have to, but somehow it does. It's very Berlin in that manner.
