This'll be a bit scatterbrained of a review, so apologies in advance.

Upon playing the game's prologue/demo, I was extremely excited for this game. It seemed to hit all the right notes, the tone, the dialogue, the story, the choices, the puzzles, the stealth, everything.

...sadly, the only consistency after that, was the visuals and audio. The rest of the game feels like it just kinda loses direction halfway through and completely shifts gears.
It also doesn't take long to notice that your dialogue choices kinda... don't really matter. I feel like if you really wanted to, you could just button mash your way through almost everything after the prologue and still leave the game with as much information as you would had you been fully paying attention. The story does very little to fill you in on what's actually going on after it switches it's gears.
The text itself isn't horrible, although there's a fair few spelling and grammar mistakes I noticed. Far more than I'd think would normally slip through the cracks.

The inventory system honestly feels... like it was also forgotten halfway through it's inception. The items in your inventory often aren't used for anything, can't be examined, or have even already been used for something. So having used items still sitting there just seems kinda pointless. It's hardly even a memento.

I still absolutely adore the visual and audio of this game. It's damn near perfect, and I want to see more of it. PLEASE let there be more of this. I just wish the rest of the game was able to match the pace of the prologue/intro.
