Every biome in the game is downbeat, desolate or gloomy in some fashion, but the animal characters never feel beaten down by the darkness, instead having a great time despite the human world deteriorating in the background. The contrast of, for example, a merchant wishing he could live the life of a person who drinks out of a golden cup, despite the human skeleton in the background who's sitting at the table being very clearly dead, adds the touch of innocence the story needs. One of the collectibles is story pages from fairly tales, the type that end badly for all concerned, but the birds and rats and frogs are all living their best lives despite the moments of horror going on around them. Granted, it also helps that Glimmer is working his hardest to rescue everyone, and it seems highly unlikely the woodland creatures' stories would have ended anything like as happily otherwise, but a fairy tale hero's job is to wrest a happy ending from the darkest events, no matter what kind of abominations are wandering the spiked platforms of the fallen kingdom."}],"updatedAt":"2026-09-22"}
