Tiny Echo is a semi-nonlinear point-and-click that forgoes the usual inventory system of its peers. You might think, "But point-and-click games aren't very heavy on mechanics as it is; wouldn't removing a system result in bare-bones gameplay?"

Yes. Yes it would. Yes it does.

The ONLY reason I am not giving this a thumbs-down is that I completed it in just one-and-a-half hours, and I suspect you can as well. I really don't recommend paying more than a couple of dollars for this title, but even if you do, if you feel ripped-off by the end you can always refund it.

I generally am not a fan of point-and-clicks and this game is no exception (it was a gift). But the art and music is good and it never crosses into the realm of being bad, so... eh. Unenthusiatic recommendation for fans of the genre.
