Our take on Half Away
Puzzle-focused players may bounce off when they realize environmental challenges mainly support the narrative rather than drive it. Players seeking a longer campaign may also hit the wall at the compact, one-shot structure, even though four endings provide different story outcomes.
What is Half Away?
Half Away is a story-focused puzzle adventure that follows Juna across Limbo, a realm shaped by Slavic and Japanese folklore.
She wakes in a strange woodland unable to recall her arrival and searches for spirits, old secrets, and a route back to the living world. Through Resonance, Juna can detect voices hidden inside objects; discoveries are added to her journal and help decode clues. Puzzles play a supporting role within the narrative. Decisions change Juna’s path and influence the fates of people and spirits, producing four potential conclusions. The game offers a brief, self-contained journey built around storytelling, exploration, meetings with characters, and personal discovery.
