Money well spend?

TLDR: I bought this game for €5. I think it was worth that, but not the standard asking price of €20. The reason I bought this game is because it got some good reviews. I read it is a walking simulator, and this was the first one I played (as far as I know). For people that are unfamiliar with what a walking simulator is, basically (at least in this game) it means that you walk a lot from point A to point B without encountering enemies, without engaging in combat or platforming obstacles, etc. Basically it means, enjoy the digital environment and story. On those two fronts the game is pretty good, although I did think they wrapped up the story a bit too quickly. So you might ask yourself, why only 2 stars? Well, there are a number of drawbacks to this game. I played through the story in about 5 hours. After that there is no (real) replayability. The game offers a lot of response choices in your confersations with Delilah, but your choices do not have any affect on things happening in the world or how the story unfolds. There are no multiple endings. Even if you ignore Delilah as much as you can, the things you need to do to progress the story, remain the same. And with a playthrough and 100% of the achiements done in 5 and a half hours, I would say that is not worth the €20.
