Just a heads up, there's a good review on the steam page that breaks it down a bit and it seems this is less a free game and very much a F2P game with a battle pass and expensive currency.

Play it. You never have to spend a dime. Its a great relaxing game to just fly around with your kids or something. The season passes net you like cosmetics that do nothing. You can get 3 for 15 bucks. What they get you on is the candle currency. Some of the items are like 150 candles and you aren't collecting that in a month without a serious grind. I still recommend it especially if you liked their other game, Journey.

I only had time for 15 min, but I sure hope there's more to it then walking and watching short clips. There's more once I get past the "opening", right?

I did play, and enjoy, journey.

The main story is basically Journey with friends and cosmetics. It expands a bit as you complete each area, easing you into more difficult/spookier content, but it never gets too complex.

There's also a bunch of secret stuff to find and all of the older seasonal stuff that remains after they ended.
