It's time to start a new video game. There are many ways this particular game may have caught your interest... Perhaps you saw one of its various trailers leading up to launch; maybe you heard about it from your favorite website or someone you know; it's possible you even happened upon it by chance during a sale or while scrolling through your gaming store of choice. Whatever led you to this game, it's time — You start it up, progressing past its initial screens. You check your settings and prepare yourself to experience an all-new world. You wait patiently, not knowing what to expect.
Within mere moments, a scattering of minutes, you get a feeling that starts in your stomach, creeping up into your chest — a heightening of expectation, a tensing of excitement. There's no way to know for certain, but you do; this video game is going to be immensely special. Are you familiar with the sensation? I've only experienced it a handful of times, with some of my most beloved games. Harmony: The Fall of Reverie gave me this feeling, and it almost carried that magic all the way through. Take a trip with me, and I'll tell you all about it.
