Do it for Her.

A beautiful, short story about love, inspiration and moving on.

Now hope is gone, or so it seems
But game's not over yet
New cards are drawn, new hands are played
Newcomers place a bet

A knave, a wizard, devil, gith
The odds are cast anew
And Baldur's fate now turns upon
The whims of fortune's few

Had I waited a bit longer post-launch to find that the basis of this story gives impunity and a sympathetic glow to a pedophile I would not have purchased this game. Normally walking simulators are no-brainer buys for me to enjoy in small chunks of spare time, but now this one's given me reason to take pause. And I think potential buyers who may be as easily put off by this as I am should be given fair warning in some way. (And to put it out there, no, I do not care what the age of consent is in Montana. Your age ends in '-teen'? You are a child.)

For all the impressive graphical detail put into items and the layout of the hotel, the excellent voice talent and ambiance that provides my kind of no-jump-scare-anywhere horror, I just can't bring myself to give this a thumbs up. If this is all that it takes to impress you (and there's nothing wrong with that) then you will still enjoy the game despite its themes. But aside from the thinly veiled acceptance of pedophilia, I want to make a point that what walking simulators lack in interaction and stimulation compared to other genres, it's important that a solid, cohesive story take the spotlight. And frankly I don't think this story even knows what it's about. It tries very hard to stay a ghostly mystery and keep you guessing with clues that point in different directions just up until the end where they turn into a long row of question marks and smoke.

In the end, all I can really say is there are better titles out there more worthy of the $20 price tag and your time.
