Whisper of Y'Ryando

It's not easy to find concrete information about this game (in English), so this review is mainly to explain the structure and objectives of the game, not my personal opinion. If you'd rather go into it with the full mystery experience, don't read this. If this is too vague, there are Steam guides that explain everything, including how to complete the game.

There are 2 main ways to progress in the game:
1) Collect the dice.
2) Solve the riddle.

Collecting dice happens automatically by just playing the game. The story takes the form of a time loop that you can repeat endless times. You can't fail, you can just take more or less time to finish it. Once you collect all the dice, it takes the randomness out of the game. You can explore what you want, when you want, allowing you to make progress on the riddle.

The riddle is very obscure. It's like if I said "this is a really hard riddle" and then handed you a dictionary. Of the dozens of ways to combine clues, most of them aren't relevant, and the information you need to solve the riddle is not entirely in the "clues". The tutorial says that the red text is important but there's not enough of it to give you a concrete direction. As a bare minimum hint: focus on the light blue / cyan clues, the kind you get 3 of at the start of each game .

If you just want to complete the game (100% Steam achievements), check the walkthrough and it can be done in under an hour. If you want to actually solve the riddle on your own, good luck and god speed.

IMPORTANT WARNING: If you click "New game", it won't just start the story from the first scene, it will delete your progress (collected dice and key clues), without any warning or confirmation. To start the story from the first day, click "Restart" in the pause menu.

I like this game.

It's very pretty, the music is good, the UI is minimal but what's here is very useable.

The gameplay is, for what I have seen of it, is very simple, you roll dice and get "hints" depending on what you roll, rolling the indicated dice changes the scene, if you roll the Connexion symbol then you will get to combine two hints to make a third, and you can get more dice by rolling the same thing multiple times.

The story, or, well, "story" seems to be very esoteric, if you liked Cultist Simulator for discovering of a new cosmogony, a different mythology than what we know, putting together tidbits of information, trying to put together the big picture, or as much as it will let you see, you will most likely enjoy this game.

Be warned, the game tells you nothing, does not hold your hands, or even give you goals.
All is yours to find.

For the price, I would recommend that you at least check it out.

A mix of puzzle and interactive fiction. You must create a narrative from fragments using dice and combining clues.

This gameplay is very unique. To uncover the plot/read the full story, you must complete several game cycles.

Hints divided into six main types. The type of clue is indicated by its color and the symbol in the upper right corner of its text card. You can see these symbols on the dice.

Initially, you receive a few hints and can only roll one die. Then, more dice rolled, and you can choose which of the rolled dice will be used.

If you roll a die that allows you to combine two clues to create a new story fragment, two round slots will appear on the screen. The game highlights the clues that can be placed in these slots. Select any of them, and the game will highlight the clues that can be combined with the one already placed.
