Graphically the game is gorgeous but in the crucial department of story and storytelling....... it was utterly lacking in all respects.
The game does look gorgeous for the most part and it's really nice to have a female protagonist for once, but everything else left me wanting. The story is fine, though most of the emotional beats are not really built up sufficiently to warrant more than a "huh" when any reveals happen, there is no connection to any of the characters and it is structured in a way that you can pretty much from the stat tell what's going on in the broad strokes. The puzzles seem only there because "these kinds of games have to have puzzles". None of them brought anything to the storytelling or seemed in any way plausible. There was an endless number of things along the way that made me go "this is wrong" or "this is stupid". All in all, there is a kernel of excellence here, that could become something in the next game made by the developers, but this one didn't quite make it.
