Absolutely thrilling. A game that made me feel a broad range of emotions, has invaded my dream world and has continued to occupy my thoughts long after the curtains have been drawn - I keep coming back to thinking about the characters, the Town's conflicts and mysteries and the choices I have made. I personally have appreciated the difficult mechanics. The concentration and effort that one puts in pays off emotionally. Most importantly, in this game failure is a feature, you are supposed to fail. I am an anxious perfectionist, I think that a lot of technology and other features of the modern lifestyle exacerbate that kind of tendency. Either way, I found being put in a world where I'm expected to fail, with all the bitter sweetness that involves, profoundly liberating. So to me, this is more than a game. Like a handful of other great games that I've had the pleasure to play in my life, this has been a life experience.
