If you want a break from intense action games or stressful survival horrors, this game may be for you. Just walk around while talking to the other characters and let the story unfold. I mean, there is still plenty of spooky and creepy stuff in the game, but it felt "good" creepy – not "OMG don't let the monster see me I don't want to play anymore" creepy. :) Just be prepared to take an active part in the game, as the dialog continues with or without you (unlike, say, a visual novel). Overall, I liked the art, the characters, voice acting, music, ... simply the whole package. It's not an epoch-defining masterpiece or an "instant classic", but it's simply a good, satisfying game. The ending left me feeling like not everything was answered completely to my liking, but other than that it was good and satisfying as well. I would rate it 4.5, but the form does not accept fractions, so rounding up to 5. Btw., the game isn't very long and I felt like I missed some stuff on the first playthrough, so I started again right as I finished. And if you liked the game, I suggest you give it a go as well – for a story-driven game, the replayability is surprisingly good. I just wish Alex would run a bit faster – it's not that fun when you have to wait to walk through the same scene for the third time... :)

It was an interesting game with the way you could interact or not with dialogues. Though overall there was a fair bit of railroading, I liked the feel of strange adventure.

it is enjoyable. i've been playing for 2 or 3 hours straight

Overall i liked the interactive story. The voice acting was pretty much flawless and i found the art style charming, the in game music was also very fitting and I liked most of the dialog. I however have a few gripes with some of the interactions. I found the static screeching noises pretty annoying and sometimes i was given pretty much zero time to choose a dialog response. I found the whole tape winding mechanic quite pointless I don't even know why it was in the game i guess just busy work? I found the story a bit dense in places and the character movement was kind of slow and tedious. I felt they fell short on the interactivity aspect, gating the players ability to progress and discover behind story events. I personally would have had much more fun if they plopped me down said here are your tools, figure it out and perhaps added a few neat puzzles into the mix instead of useless mechanics and too much hand holding.

At first the game seemed different and interesting. However, the ending... I did not like it. Also as others stated, it is not possible to read all the possible choices if you are not a native speaker nor a fast reader. The character also walks so slow. The graphics are nice, but loading screen every 10 minutes...
