I was absolutely giggling when this happened

I've already been wanting to check it out proper but these lads may have won me over

There's a 2nd part to it that I'll leave you to find for yourself. It's very good.

You trampled the father of a family tree...

Absolutely 100%. YCG has always been incredible at writing these unexpected, funny little NPC interactions that feel like they’re straight out of an episode of Adventure Time. Slight spoiler: these leaves make another appearance after you finish that area.

When companies talk about using AI for stuff like NPCs, this is the kind of fun and creativity they want to take away. Honestly, a lot of modern games fill worlds with generic NPCs just to make them feel more "lived-in", but in Mina, each NPC is hand-crafted, and it truly makes the world feel alive.

One of my favorite moments tbh

When Mina reads, she brings out little reading glasses a la Homer and it’s the best thing

haha I didn't know that! I've talked about it a lot, but I love when you can feel that the creators of a game were having fun making it

There was an article way back when Penny Arcade's had articles that was all about Wayforward putting in a 'features' in every one of their games that don't impact gameplay but add fun or whimsy. I wish I could find it.. but I believe that's some of the DNA that YCG took with them when they spun off.

You can really feel their leafy frustration. 😟

It's a small detail, but I love the little fist pump she does when picking up an item.

So have you gotten to moth girl yet?

leaf them alone 😎🔥🪦

I just saw this too, and I vow to never jump on another pile of leaves again

It's like extremely dark at times. I love it but it gets nuts.
