Isle of Reveries looks like a fun classic Zelda-like with some interesting game mechanics

Inspired clearly by the likes of classic Zelda and the Game Boy Color, Isle of Reveries is one for fans of retro games that want something new and fresh.

Here you'll be travelling through the overworld and various dungeons, each of them split into distinct biomes with each area having their own unique mechanics from puzzle-focused areas to "open-ended, straightforward combat gauntlets". You play as a little owl named Lief, who has a fairy companion that can copy various objects in the game world. As the developer said: "Need to shoot an enemy from a distance? Copy and spawn the arrow-shooter. Need to keep a switch pressed? Copy and spawn a block." — sounds fun.
