At first I was genuinely enjoying the time loop gimmick and how it uses puzzle solving through trial and error but just when it seemed like the story was taking a decent resolution it resorted to one of the most comically terrible twists I’ve experienced in any piece of narrative that even Willem Dafoe’s character was taken back by this and just leaves the game.

Never have I seen a video game try so hard to be seen as a “legit” piece of storytelling or artform and just drop the ball hard by going a route that whatever quality the narrative (and game as a whole) had beforehand just dissipates in the air.
