An atmospheric horror story experience
This an atmospheric, unsettling trip into a young woman's abusive home life and both the mundane and supernatural horror that arises from it. The writing and voice acting is good, the scenarios are interesting and dark. The main character is sympathetic, her "normal life" sadly thwarted by ugly circumstances which she is forced to deal with. Remember this is solidly in the horror genre, so expectations about the pleasantness of its themes should be tempered by that knowledge. Specific trigger warnings have been adequately covered by other reviewers. As for gameplay, it's essentially a playable short story that barely makes you work at all to keep things moving. If it's approached as more of a story told via game tools than a "game" so to speak, it'll be easier to appreciate what it's going for. And that isn't exactly unprecedented. Some people won't like the vision or the style, but for what it is, it's unique and well-executed. I'll be looking up the others by this studio/author.
