Sublime!
This game is very much an example of quality over quantity :) Whilst it might only be 15-30 minutes long, it is one of the most creative and atmospheric games I've seen in a while. Everything from the lighting design, to the mysterious "world" of the game to various subtle details give it the kind of distinctive atmosphere that you typically only find in novels. It's also the sort of genuinely creative interpretation of the fantasy/dark fantasy genre that only a few games (eg: "American McGee's Alice", parts of "Amid Evil" etc... have managed to do). Not to mention that it takes a lot of influence from "Bioshock Infinite", whilst also managing to be something totally unique at the same time :) Whilst the game is listed as "horror", it's more "gothic" than "scary". Whilst there are mild jump scares and menacing moments, the main character cannot be harmed and the game focuses a lot more on gothic dark fantasy atmosphere - think a weirdly reassuring "PG-rated" version of H.P, Lovecraft (but in a really good way). The gameplay is good - yes, it has actual gameplay - with puzzles that require thought but - thanks to a small number of locations, items and hotspots - the puzzles feel fun rather than frustrating. There's some mild pixel hunting in the first library room but that's my only criticism. All in all, this game is a work of ART :) It's unique, creative and brilliantly atmospheric. Yes, its very short but it is actually better than some longer games.
