WILL: Follow The Light Review
WILL: Follow The Light starts with a promising premise and engaging sailing mechanics but ultimately fails to deliver on its narrative potential. The game's puzzles are tedious, and the voice acting lacks the emotional urgency required for its themes of loss and coping.
