The concept of "style over substance" is a real dilemma for the broader indie game scene. While finding a novel and satisfying gameplay hook is the bedrock of many smaller games, the task of finding that gameplay loop gets more difficult every year with thousands of indie releases across console platforms and Steam Greenlight. Because of that, it's not uncommon for games to root their appeal in an interesting artstyle or a deeper message. Unfortunately, that is all that can really be said about Crescent Moon Games' The Deer God.
