Having read the reviews, I was quite excited to go into this game and experience the story. While it is probably a very personal and deep story for the developers, it was not one I could connect with. For being a game about loneliness, you sure spend a lot of time interacting with other characters, it has serious moments where I did not like the protagonist and for all that it is, I didn't feel like I came out of it with any more understanding of the mental health issues it tried to portray.

To give credit, the game is visually gorgeous, the theme is an ambitious topic and the short play time means it doesn't feel like it's trying too much. On saying that however, I feel it would have been done better in a graphic novel - the gameplay interrupts the story and the awkward control scheme becomes tiresome as they try to make sections that justify it being a "game".

I grabbed this as it was cheap and decided to give it a look. How quickly I got hooked into this, for such a simple little game I feel like there's so many paths and secrets to follow, but only if you go looking. The game will not hold your hand, and that's part of the fun of it. Well worth a play.

Don't buy this. It doesn't work. Simple as. There are still huge bugs that make it unplayable. I wish I had seen this before buying :|
