What players say
A unique mix of established gameplay and emotional themes, on chapter-based rails. Pros: * Great animation, overall - excellent at the very start, only a cpl goofy bits mid-way thru. * Great music. * Okay voice-acting - accents kinda clashed between family members though, IMO. * No mindless wandering needed unless you wanna - game supplies you with a "Where TF do I go now?!?" button. * Level design was good. *...
This game tackles loneliness and depression in a really interesting way. i liked how it turns the monsters into a representation of the ones we carry in our own minds, the guilt from bad decisions, and how sometimes you just can't save people who are going through the same thing. The story is beautiful and definitely the main reason to play. the gameplay is pretty basic, but it's never bad, and honestly that's not...
No tengo si no cosas buenas que decir de este juego, de verdad una gran experiencia, en 5 horas lo terminas pero vale la pena
