Unfortunately, we had seemingly missed an opportunity to choose our server. We both created new characters and attempted to meet each other in the starting town. The second time I played Book of Travels I did so with my sister. At that point, I quit only to return a few days later. From there I travelled eastwards for almost an hour before realising I was well and truly lost. After awakening in a field of sheep, I ventured forth to a small town that offered me food and clothing. The very first time I played it I did so alone. I feel the best way to preface this review is by outlining my initial experiences with Book of Travels. In-game Screenshot “My sister couldn’t get past the loading screen, and I couldn’t access any menus. Unfortunately, while Book of Travels certainly offers a lot of what I had hoped for, its convoluted mechanics and tendency to be overly cryptic meant I could never truly enjoy my stay in the lands of Braided Shore. And so, from the moment I discovered it to the minute I pressed play, I held on to this beautiful notion of exploring a world that offered a delightful sense of impermanence and chance encounters. I find myself obsessed with the Japanese concept of “Ichi-go ichi-e” or the idea of treasuring a once in a lifetime moment. Something about its smaller scale, warm sense of community and the promise of an adventure like no other intrigued me.
I have been eagerly anticipating the launch of Book of Travels for quite some time.
