The game does have some forgettable bits of quirky dialogue, but ITTA is overall a fun and challenging journey through a mysterious world with accessibility features that make the game a must-play, especially for fans of the bullet-hell and boss-rush genres.

The story, too, is not solely about despair. Hope is just as important a theme. The end of the game is surprisingly touching and fully worth the journey. So don’t be turned off ITTA because it sounds too difficult or too dark. Give it a chance, and you’ll find a smooth, enjoyable, quality game experience. It unfortunately ends much too soon, but while it lasts it is worth the journey.

Bullet-hell games aren’t often known for melancholic narratives and exploration at a sedate-pace, but ITTA isn’t your usual bullet-hell experience. This is a top-down adventure that will appeal to fans of Hyper Light Drifter: Special Edition, Titan Souls and the like, one full of confident storytelling and very challenging bullet hell bosses.

For such a short game, spending as much time as I did wandering around lost was a big dent. With that said, and noting that while most players will avoid that exact pitfall, there were other areas I could see similar confusion creeping up caused by the minimalist approach, I think it's likely most players will have a frustration-free jaunt through the gardens.

I genuinely hope ITTA will be enjoyed by many but it’s only fair that I provide my wholehearted insight to the game laid before me. I loved how unsettled the world of ITTA made me feel, the wonderful Hyper Light Drifter-style visuals and incredibly fitting soundtrack. I just wish I felt the same way about the actual meat of the gameplay itself.

I love when a little indie shows up from out of nowhere and wins me over like this. ITTA features all the key ingredients to be an indie darling, such as a strong art style and soundtrack, a gameplay loop reminiscent of classic games from back in the day, and a story that will hit close to home to anyone who decides to pick it up. Thankfully, in no moment these elements felt like just “game award bait”.
