Not great but not bad

Firstly, as a game its terrible. It has a single puzzle mechanic which you'll repeat a dozen times with no variation and beyond that the only real input is walking painfully slowly from point a to point b and making very minor dialog choices. So with that out of the way we can talk about the story. Which carries some annoying stock characters (the wacky stoner) but tells a satisfying ghost story nonetheless. Unfortunately like every other "Interactive Narrative Experience" such as Kentucky Route Zero or Firewatch the gameplay and story undermine each other. Enjoying the story? Well now you have to back track for 10 minutes to get the next piece of it. Enjoy exploring a beautiful new area? Well tough your companion is going to trap you in place and yammer at you for five minutes (bafflingly dialog is not skippable). There are one or two decent moments but the bad out weighs the good. In the end as a story its passable. Undeniably the strongest aspect is the visuals and sound design. Which is hard to fault though the voice work is mediocre and delivered painfully slowly in some places
