Minute Of Islands review: a grim world drawn in a wonderful, elegant way


Puzzle-platformer Minute Of Islands sort of feels like a fairytale. Like a lot of stories for kids, the narration is simple, almost sing-song and poetic in tone. It tells the story of Mo, a self-taught engineer who lives mostly underground, tending to the bio-mechanical engines operated by four giants - brothers, in fact. The brothers hand-crank the machines to filter and purify the air, which would otherwise become filled with poisonous fungal spores.


When the engines break down one day, Mo must brave the surface, checking on her family and growing increasingly paranoid and bitter at her unappreciated sacrifice as she breathes in the spores. But the actual events, and the things you see as you jump and climb around the archipelago Mo lives on, present a jarring contrast to the narration. The narrator points out a dead whale. She does not describe the way the whales intenstines are spilling onto the beach, the bones of its spine are exposed, or how its eyes have been eaten by mangy, one-legged seagulls.

The bizarre, beautiful adventure Minute of Islands is out now




I really liked the look of Minute of Islands, the tale of a tinkerer named Mo who lives on a chain of islands filled with strange machines that hold some ancient threat at bay, when it was announced at the 2020 Guerrilla Collective. It was meant to be out later that year but didn't make it, and a planned launch earlier this year was missed too. But it's not going to miss its newest release date, because—surprise!—it's today, and it's out now...
