Takume: The Dreaming Daughter is the kind of game that I'm very predisposed to love: it's short, features beautiful pixel art and a layered, fantastical world, with a story that speaks to deep, dark feelings. It's the sort of thing I like to play, to write about, and even to make.My disposition doesn't discount its quality. There's heart and weight to this tiny adventure. It speaks the language of fantasy: you play as a young lady in witchy robes, traveling a forest with weird talking creatures, spirits, and magical puzzles. But its story is grounded: about trauma, acceptance, even forgiveness.
