A beautiful, somber adventure. A great variety of themes, all artfully constructed in a way that is both unique and appealing. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but this is certainly not for everyone.

To begin with, it's a LOT of reading. This is essentially a novel with interactive visuals - if you're into this form of presentation, you will no doubt have fun. If you desire action, this might not be for you.

The story is sad, but heartwarming. Very impressive use of symbolism and the topics and themes that occur throughout the story are rarely seen in most stories, and that was refreshing.

At times, however, I felt like the game relied too much on the player to care about the story enough to read literal paragraphs of text without end. Only a few such instances though.

The music was also extremely fitting, and I really enjoyed it. Will certainly remember this game for a long time, not many such well thought-out stories out there among video games.

Needless to say, this is an audiovisual art project - and a damn beautiful one at that. I think this game is a prime example that video games CAN be art.
