Now THIS is how you do one of those. Really not a fan of "interactive narrative experiences" but this one got through my skin. The script, the dialogue, the acting and the artwork are stellar, not just by the simple quality standards, but also in the way they're crafted with a clear understanding of the videogame media quirks. Like the beautiful locations, detailed just enough to always catch an eye with something without cluttering the screen. Or the accessible space, limited due to 2d perspective and "corridor spaghetti" locations, which removes unnecessary wondering and thus helps keeping the steady pace. The only real drawback is somewhat bumpy technical execution: framerate can take a short nosedive after hours of smooth play, some contextual zones aren't quite responsive enough, small glitches here and there. And as always with branching narratives, some "branches" pack less punch than others, and the payoffs to some choices might feel not as satisfying. Overall though, a definite recommendation.
