This game is so weird that you can perfectly split it in half. The first half rivals Silent Hill 2 for best horror, atmosphere, and story in the entire series. The second half shits on all of this by being a monotonous rerun of everything you've already played, but now you also have to keep a hapless, stupid NPC safe.

There's a quote from the developer that goes "I really have been starting to care less about making very captivating gameplay, and I would rather just make a really huge fake internet" and I respect that so much. There's so much humanity here, it's amazing. I think of my own life online, all the people I've met on forums and servers and games only to be lost to time. Definitely a "...Man..." game.

It's not perfect, and I've got some complaints with some of the story at the beginning, but I've never been more impressed with the blending of mechanics and the story of mental health. The timeloop mechanic and overall horror plot of a constant slasher tied with a story about OCD is actually brilliant. There are genuinely perfect moments within this game, and scenes that still stick with me. The puzzles are solid, the gameplay loop tight, and the story wraps up extremely well.
As someone who genuinely loves Getting Over It, I do think this game misses the point of what made Getting Over It so good. The level design isn't there, the commentary isn't there, and especially the mechanics aren't there. Getting Over It was good because it allowed instant recovery, and most often during your panic was when your worst mistakes were to happen. In Golfing Over It, once you swing, that's it, and you just have to wait for 15 seconds for your ball to finally settle.
