Only bought it to get the background but actually a really good game with a deep story!
Not one of the best Walking Sims around, but it's alright. Voice acting is really great, completely believable dynamic between the two main characters. It's really nice to hear authentic Irish voices to prop up an overlooked and rarely-seen-in-games Irish rich story. The actual walking is frustrating and kinda lazily implemented, but it was a worthwhile experience.
