Heartbound , The Journey For Your Best Friend

Disclosure: This game copy was bought by the reviewer.

A straight forward adventure game about a young boy discovering his past and trying to rescue his best friend. There are mini-games, simple puzzles, and the narrative to help push you forward. I am not sure how long it is yet (only one area of three available following the introduction, so I am probably close to the current end), but it is a linear sequence of events that relies on the characters to keep the story interesting. Artwork looks fantastic, music is pleasant, and I haven't run into any major technical bugs yet. (Right now I suggest waiting, but then again, I am not easily brought into a story that tries to invoke emotions over the character development).
