It's going to be released on Epic Games Store for PC. I would highly recomend to play it with a game controller like dualshock4 or the Xbox One controller, something with two sticks, as the game makes use of both sticks and the analogic nature of them.

Glad you like it, Another one of those games that everybody needs to play and deserves more downloads!
It's simple, Yet immersive and touching. Pretentious reviewers complained that the puzzles were too easy. They forget that not everybody wants to solve the bloody Da Vinci code when playing a game, Bot everything has to be like Portal.
I watched my Daughter complete this game (I stepped in on a couple of puzzles though) and it was a perfect experience. That's who this game was made for, People who don't necessarily want to even play a game, But want an endearing experience and be told a story with sights and sounds, not words.
Rime mastered this approach. I'll never forget this game.

Stunning game!

Ah, drekkard. Nice job.
I wish you all the best.

That's an amazing review, thanks! Independently of the scores, we are proud of what we did with few resources and a tight schedule. The game still has some minor issues we are working on to patch, but overall people love the narrative and production values. It has been a long and excruciatingly hard road, but it is so fulfilling when you see people reacting emotionally to it!

Looking forward to playing this over the weekend, great to see such a positive reception to the game.
Bought this as a toast to the good old days on here (when all that I had to worry about was nets being too rigid) and also as comparisons to Rime piqued my interest. Loving it so far. Just as beautiful and touching as I hoped it would be.
Well done, Drek - hope it gets the sales it deserves.

Raving revue on Belgian gaming site 9Lives.
Arise is het eerste spel van indie ontwikkelaar Piccolo, en wat voor eentje! De game is wondermooi met kleurrijke omgevingen, prachtige muziek en een verhaal dat zoals de titel zegt, simpel is, maar je vanaf de eerste seconde toch bij de keel grijpt. Arise doet op het eerste zicht een beetje denken aan de indie klassieker Journey maar overstijgt dat spel in zowat elk aspect en zet een nieuwe prestatie neer in games als kunstvorm.
Translation:
Arise is the first game from indi developer Piccolo and it's is some game. De game is beautiful with colourful surroundings, lovely music en een story dat is indeed simple, but immersive from the first seconds. Arise reminds me of indie classic Journey, but is better in each and every aspect and is setting a standard for games as a form of art.

Thanks you very much! I hope you like it and most of all, it moves you. We value emotional connection with the game more than anything.
That's a great review Gerd! My friend, it is amazing when people connects with your game that well, it feels very satisfying and we are honored to be compared to such big names.
Most reviews are like that, and we have a lot of reviews on the 8-9 mark (and a few 10s!), but some reviewers are penalizing a bit the score because of the controls in specific sections of the game, so we are releasing a patch in the next weeks improving the platforming, so we hope casual gamers enjoy it even more and reviewers keep getting us high marks. It is so difficult to please everyone
We are very proud of what we did in only 22 months of development, and we are currently working on a new project. But respect to sales, there's something funny, there are a lot of streams out there of the whole game, with a lot of viewers watching it completely on streams. Many people are congratulating us and telling us how amazing the game was... on sthe stream! So we still don't know if that is going to impact sales positively or negatively. We will have to wait.
Gaming has changed a lot, guys. The old "we are going to develop a good game and it will sell just because it's a good product and has good reviews" doesn't apply anymore.

I sincerely hopes it sells very well, Alexis. Not only because i like you very much, but even more because it is a really good game.
I'm currently playing the "sun flower level" and i really love it.
It seems watching games on streams is a big thing. My 16 year old son does it quite a lot, it seems he does this more than gaming itself...as an old out of touch man, i find that weird...

Yeah, I see where they're coming from. I mean, I DL'd it today from the Epic Store and started playing... And I'm drowning like twice per minute.
Jokes apart (I only need to get used to the controls I guess), this is a joy to look at and it's pretty emotional (especially when you discover memories).
The artistic side of the game is also great. I just love the drawings of the memories... Is there a chance (long long shot, I know) that we could download them somewhere?
I'll report back once I go further, but for the moment... Great job! 🤟
We are releasing a patch soon that addresses a lot of the fustration of certain jumping sequrnces, a pitty we didn't get it in time for the release.
We went for a hard approach to controls at tge beginning (we wanted you to feel a bit like an old man, not super mario), but we found a way to improve control of the jumos and make olatforming more enjoyable, so if you appreciate that you could wait for the patch.
Hope to see you guys reach the end of the game and see what it makes you feel.
About the memories, possibly in the future we make tgem available to people, but that also depends on the publisher.
