Find and ignite three towers that’ll extend bridges on another island ,that’s more-or-less the chapter’s exit. There’s a total of five chapters in Windbound and each features the same objective. ![]() Fortunately, the gameplay loop was engaging. I’ll be honest: none of this grabbed my attention. Each tower you light up presents a poem and each time you finish a chapter you’ll be presented with some hieroglyphics laying out, what I assumed was, history of Kara’s people crossing this land. Although Windbound is being touted as a narrative-driven adventure, it is not a simple or plainly told story. What the oar is, and what the towers are - I couldn’t tell you.

Your first island starts the same every time you play the game. You can roll credits and it took me probably around 10-12 hours to do so for the first time, although there’s a lot of replay value, especially for those seeking to grab all the game’s achievements/trophies. Unlike most survival games the story in the game has a beginning, middle and end.
