Critic Reviews for The Stillness of The Wind
An elderly empty-nester whistles as she maintains her smallholding with calm and dignity in this slow-paced, meditative game
As you watch Talma's existence fade, you grasp the importance that every moment can have on a mortal plane.
Only fiddly controls and minor pacing issues mar a melancholic and affecting story, simply and refreshingly told.
The Stillness of the Wind offers up a captivating story combined with serene gameplay. If you're looking for an emotionally engaging gaming experience, this game should definitely be added to your list.
The Stillness of the Wind tells a moving tale of an elderly woman living alone on a small, isolated farm.
Old lady Talma's melancholic tale of utter loneliness and inevitable end does provide some tasty breadcrumbs every now and then, but as a whole, this farm sim/narrative-driven title overstays its welcome, doesn't manage to be enjoyable, and ends up being a chore that just happens to include some pretty, and mildly coloured vistas, as well as a nice calm-and-then-ominous aura.
I hope by now it is clear that The Stillness of the Wind is not a traditionally “fun” game – it doesn’t have the compulsion or reward of something like Stardew Valley. That being said, I would still recommend giving it a chance
