What players say
This game is visually and emotionally captivating, simmering within you slowly. It's nothing short of dramatic, but I love the gentle way it leads the player from one chapter to another, revealing what the main character's life was like with her mother. It is incredibly real in showing how grief forces us to dive deep into memories of the people we once shared our whole lives with. Relationships can be imperfect...
