I breezed through Deer & Boy, wondering when it was going to grip me, but it never did. As someone who adores the genre, my final feeling was one of confusion. Deer & Boy felt like a game I was going to fall in love with. It was inevitable. But I ended up merely charmed.

Deer & Boy is an experience that relies more on feelings than explanations. Its silent narrative, the relationship built between the protagonists, and the excellent sound design create a journey capable of conveying emotions without resorting to dialogue or lengthy expository scenes. However, the experience ends up being hampered by a problem that is difficult to ignore: the way its puzzles are presented.

Deer & Boy is a beautiful cinematic adventure that is particularly moving because of the growing bond between the boy and the deer.

What a joy to discover when a game goes places you did not expect. From the outset, I thought this game would be an unassuming, cozy adventure about a young kid learning about nature. Oh, how I am glad to be wrong.
