I beat the game. Almost all of the plot happens at the end of the game after the final boss. The ending was very mysterious but very intriguing leaving you wanting to know more about the game universe. This is very good for the game creators because it creates interest in sequels/prequels to the game. The game wasn’t very long but if it went longer without continuing the plot the game would lose appeal.
I think the creators did a good job on creating a connection with the player’s horse. The horse having some AI, refusing to jump off cliffs when you can, turning to avoid obstacles, avoiding enemies and getting anxious when attacked, the feels more like more than a vehicle. The cut scene were the horse looks at the dead girl sadly builds the horse as a character. Also the horse being needed against some of the monsters thus causing it to risk its life for you also bring the character and horse closer together. Near the end there is a sad moment were the horse falls off the cliff, I think this scene would be much more effective if there was one or two more cut scenes were the horse interacts with you in a friendly or concerned manner.
