Underrated adventure
The game has surprisingly received lukewarm reviews so far, but I found it to be a great traditional point'n'clock graphic adventure. It's better to go into it without reading the professional reviews (or any reviews at all), as long as you are interested in sci-fi and can appreciate how it can reflect real down-to-earth everyday life of an adult.
The whole thing reminded me of the longest journey, with much more mature plot and setting, and more satisfying puzzles. The story is wonderfully done, at the level of a good piece of literature or film, and mashes nicely elements of scifi, psychological and existential thrillers, with lots of emotional drama in the last part which could be done a bit more subtly but it never gets corny. Few grievances, which are not worth subtracting even half a star for: translation from German is rough at places (only a few), the 3d models during the cut scenes aren't too attractive, some of the mini games are so and so but still ok (and skippable), animation transitions could be more fluid, and finally lack of real puzzles after a point near the endgame.
All in all, highly recommended especially for genre veterans
