Beautiful, poetic but linear and short
Despite of the beginning, this is not really a walking simulator in the sense that you can freely roam and explore a landscape like in "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" or "Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture". Actually, instead you move through a house room by room in a very linear way and each room tells the story how its former inhabitant died. These stories are usually quite short and typically presented in a unique way like a dream or comic book. Some of them could be called mini games but this wouldn't do them justice as the interactions are solely used to simulate a certain state of mind. Which works pretty well. Even though not every texture and every 3D model is totally perfect, the game looks beautiful most of the time mainly due to very good lighting and use of shaders. In quite a few rooms, you feel like moving around in a painting. Like in most other "indie" games, there are no real animated 3D models of humans though. The very few humans shown are rather static models with their faces covered, hidden or turned away. Also, all you can see of your protagonists are their hands (and feet), but there is not a single animated human face in the game. Which can be seen as a design element but is of course also the typical "indie" way of saving money. So yeah, this was an interesting experience with stories of bittersweet sadness but a very, very short one, too. It took me just a bit over 2 hours to reach the end. This brevity is partly caused by a lack of content but also by the absence of puzzles which lets you move too quickly from room to room. So I'd advise get it if it's on sale - not because it's bad, just because it's too short for the asking price.
