Strong Storytelling
I got this game for 4€ on sale on the PS4. Therefore, the <2h length did not bother me. Virginia is a story, very much so like film. It controls the pace through frequent cuts, harking back to Thrity Flights of Loving, which it is as much based on as actual TV influences like Twin Peaks. The story and how you read it is the real "fun" of this game. It follows two women of color, and touches on some themes this brings, without being blunt about them. I found watching it as enjoyable as working out the plot and how the visual metaphors fit into the rest of it all. Exploration is limited, but there. By not looking at everything and checking every door, even if most don't open, minor details can be missed. I recommend letting yourself be guided by the game the first time, enjoying it as it is clear it wants to be played, and at consecutive playthroughs to break the flow and try to look at everything. This also makes clear that the main audience is not 'hardcore' gamers. This might even be a good game to introduce people to the medium. If you are open to what games can be and do, this is an interesting experiment. And, in my opinion, it paid off. If you feel cautious, perhaps wait until it is on sale.
