Woodo is the kind of game that quietly reminds you how precious time really is. I went into Woodo not knowing much about the game, I saw Insym playing it and I thought it looked like a cozy game I would like. At its heart, it's a story about Foxy and Ben and the love they share. I wasn’t expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did or to make me cry. I lost my mom almost a year and a half ago, and losing her has …

Such a simple concept, but oh myyyy god, this is SO relaxing and truely one of those 'cozy blanket games' where you just slow down, and enjoy. I had 4+ hours of pure, uninterrupted brain-off cozy time with this one. No stress. No rushing. Nothing complicated demanding the last surviving brain cell I had left for the day. Just small wooden pieces, and me happily clicking them into place. All while you follow Foxy and …

A sensory paradise with simple puzzles that hug the brain. A must play for all ages! Woodo captures the essence of both traditional and modern animation design while guiding you through a world made of wooden dioramas, heart, and soul. The narrator's voice is soothing as you're taken through their journey as Foxy, describing how they met their best friend Ben (the frog) and sharing their most intimate thoughts and …

The best way to describe this game: it's a long breath in and a long breath out. You know what I mean!? What an utterly beautiful game. You can just feel the love and dedication that went into its development. It's the perfect game to unwind and relax after a long day at work. To be honest, the soundtrack alone is enough to make me feel all cozy. :D Simple: If you're a fan of cozy games and adorable characters, this …

The softest blanket of cozy games. All of the warmest elements of early childhood nostalgia: organic colors, tactile blocks, gentle storytelling, plenty of quirky animal friends. For anyone wondering about gameplay length: at about three hours in, I just hit the “halfway there” mark. Woodo is worth every penny.

It’s about a little box of memories and the things that we hold onto and treasure. It’s about the people and memories that shape us. You put puzzle pieces together, and a whole story unfolds. You are treated with not only stunning wooden dioramas but voiceover narrative coupled with soothing music and ambient sounds. This game wants you to slow down. Take a moment to enjoy the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is for anyone who, even as adult, just loves picking up those wooden children toys (especially the food that you can cut because it has velcro connecting it) in stores because the feel and sound of them scratches a special part in their brain. Very well made all around: the look, the sounds, the story. It all fits so well together and is a beautiful little experience.

It is very cute, the story is just interesting enough that you want to learn more, without you feeling like you can't put the game down. However, the further you get into the game, the more it introduces arbitrary restrictions. Where you once started out with all of the pieces, you start getting one at a time and you cannot get another until you find its place. Or you get might only get three at a time. It loses the enjoyment because instead of you discovering where…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mechanically, this game is filling out a diorama with the right pieces. The game sounds (and looks) like it's all made out of wooden pieces. Very tactile. Storywise, if you grew up a city slicker and were "forced" one summer to visit relatives in the country side, this game was tailor made for you! Another bonus is that the game doesn't overstay its welcome and constantly shakes up the "filling in the diorama pieces" part, keeping things fresh!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow this game was super cozy. I really did enjoy it. I played mostly with a cup of coffee. I thought the story was good, the music was fantastic and the art was unique. I loved the whole wooden toy atheistic they did and the fact that almost everything is interactive in some small, or large way. It is a very simple game in terms of puzzles, not very hard at all, but I think that is the beauty of it, and what I was looking for. If you are looking for a brain scratcher..probably not the game for…
