Good Job!
More than anything I'd like to see a gameplay boost, because I don't feel like the chosen elements--though each beautiful in its own way--really meshed together. You forsake company for money, but then the things you buy don't really need to be eaten, thanks to the lighthouses. The feel of simultaneous isolation, through the lighthouses, and company at the markets... well, simply put, it seems to be a bit slow and contemplative to really match with the goal, if you know what I mean.
That said, this was *extremely* graphically impressive. Great job!
I feel like the camera could be looking a little more out to the horizon, but if it's placed the way it is to help add mysteriousness I think it ends up being a good choice.
I'd love to see this turn into something bigger!
The handling is very stiff and un-helpful though...
