A selection of non-sequiturs
When I was about 10, I tried to write a horror story. It made no sense, things just kept happening and changing out of the blue, but I was proud of it at the time and claimed that other people "don't get it". This game reminds me of that. Things keep happening here with no rhyme or reason. You're walking (painfully slowly by the way) down the hall, then there's a CUT and you're in an office getting a document, CUT you're in a house, CUT you get punched in the face, CUT and there's a dead bird, CUT and it goes all the hell with random stuff that goes on. It gets truly ridiculous very quickly. The first hour or so of the game is truly abysmal in this manner, and when it finally begins to seem somewhat interesting with one quick montage, it doubles down on the ridiculous drug trip and the last 10 minutes or so of the game are just complete and utter nonsense. And then it just cuts to credits. The other parts of the game are just as inconsistent. The graphics is fairly interesting in an artsy low-budget way (although even this has issues, such as short arms and truly scary hands), but the colorful cartoony art style is a really poor fit for a detective mystery. So is the music most of the time, while at least that is great on its own. There's no dialog or speech in the game, not even any voices, everyone just silently emotes, which means there's little to no chance to provide much characterization or story (the rough visual style doesn't help either). This actually fits the last moments of the game well where you suddenly switch between characters and such, but not the majority of it. This thing simply makes no sense. Maybe I "don't get it", but more likely this is a typical example of being artsy just for the sake of being artsy. It wouldn't be an issue if this was an experiment given away for free, but all the descriptions of this thing are a complete lie. Thus, my money and even that one hour or so it took to "play" through were completely wasted.
Hilft dir das weiter?
