Ascending and descending, as well as controlling your speed work great. As Auk transitions from walking to flying, a new set of controls takes over, yet everything feels seamless. While AER looks nice in screenshots, seeing it in motion is far more impressive. What makes the visuals of AER: Memories of Old so unique is a combination of flat textures with detailed geometry and use of vivid colors and shadows. No matter how ambiguous things seemed, I eventually found the right destination without much trouble. There is no combat or fall damage and you can’t even die…which lends itself to the relaxing tone. Much of the game, both outdoors and indoors, revolves around finding these diamond “switches” that will open doors and reveal new areas. Eventually I reached the proper destination, as indicated by a glowing diamond area that my lantern interacted with. I decided to explore the entire map before making much progress.

The feeling of freedom is on full display, but it can feel a bit empty as there usually isn’t anything to do on smaller islands. Islands vary from large to extremely small, and sometimes there are animals, spirits or scriptures to interact with. Your map is almost completely empty, but exploring leads to new discoveries and your map will quickly fill itself in. All hints are given through NPC interactions, and even those can be easily overlooked. When you start out there are no waypoints or markers telling you where you should go. Rotating the camera during flight creates beautiful angles such as this. I was more concerned with exploring and finding the next temple than analyzing the history of the Great Divide. Developer Forgotten Key put a lot of thought into the game’s lore, but much of it went over my head. Auk doesn’t speak (she hardly even has a face), so all information is learned by interacting with NPCs, scriptures and stone carvings scattered across the world. The journey inevitably leads Auk into cavernous areas and temples in search of keys or relic pieces that must be united to stop the darkness. Your lantern is used in many areas to interact with doors or puzzles, in addition to providing some incredible lighting and shadows.
This world consists of floating islands in the sky that Auk can reach through flight. You play as Auk, one of the last remaining shapeshifters, and you set on a journey to prevent darkness from taking over your world. The story in AER: Memories of Old is complex and somewhat hard to follow, but I’ll give the gist of it.
Conversations such as this provide a bulk of the story.
