Great visuals but poor puzzles
Art and animation is fantastic but the puzzles are brainless. You can coast through this without thinking about any of the puzzles for more than a minute or two. They improve somewhat as the game progresses and the standalone prequel chapter has the best of the bunch but they're never good or difficult. It tries to do some heavy stuff but it doesn't really develop the main characters emotionally that well so I didn't really care about what happened to them. Plus I'd had almost the entire game to come to terms with the tragedy of the ending because it's given away pretty pointlessly in chapter 1 when the player is told where the red fabric came from. Really baffling decision that undercuts the chapter 3 reveal completely. It feels like a game just created by the art team for the sake of showing off the (admittedly fantastic) artwork because it is genuinely the only aspect of this game that demonstrates any real competence. Really disappointing as there was the potential to do something really fun and interesting in this world.
