I really enjoyed this game! I am used to playing big titles that are action packed and stressful, so playing a game described as pacifistic was interesting and new for me. The design of the environment and animals is beautiful, and the soundtrack really creates a peaceful atmosphere.
Without any guidance, the puzzles can be a little challenging if you’re not paying close attention to detail or “thinking outside the box.” I went in circles not knowing what I was missing in the last level, only to realize I needed to use the smaller plants in the environment to dispel the moths.
I experienced some minor glitches in movement and in the environment, but these were easily resolved. I enjoyed the premise of the game the most- restoring peace and vitality to the forest by interacting with the creatures and plants in order to solve the puzzles and dispel the swarms of moths (or bats? I’m not 100% sure). I really liked the various interactions with nature and the way the forest god was able to affect its environment with it’s wither and grow powers.

The game is rather short as I expected, but I do feel it was the right length to appreciate the work. If it had some additional levels, maybe the story of the forest god(s) have been explored more. I was intrigued by the meeting with the other forest god at the end of the game, and I liked ending the game by following in it’s footsteps to the tree, only to see it rest and decay into bones.
Thank you, I really enjoyed Niva! I’ll give Weaving Tides a try soon as well.
I liked the game very much, just confused what to do with the trees to help the animals feed maybe and the small animals were taking the food to some tent plant. But the game looks gorgeous! :D
Hi there! What Mac OS version are you using? It might be due to a too old or too new Mac OS version. Our support for newer OS versions is currently discontinued, unfortunately.
I just finished the game, and I'd like to say that it's gorgeous. It remind me of Fe, which is a game where you play as a little fox that helps the forest because of these creatures called the silent ones. NIVA's super relaxing and I almost fell asleep while playing! My only issue is that it's a bit laggy and sometimes I glitch into the cliffs, but I can easily get out so it wasn't a personal issue for me! Nonetheless, very pretty and cute game!
Very late reply, but no worries! I bet if I re-played it, it would be fine since I have a new computer. The computer I played on wasn't the best compu for games, but yeah! Please keep up the amazing work<33
