Not really a "video game" in the traditional sense, "walking simulator" is apt though I don't like that phrase to describe a type of adventure game that existed long before 3D graphics and mouselook. If you don't want to play a game like that, this isn't for you. If you're still reading, this has some of the best dialogue and voice acting I've ever experienced in a video game period.

It's short and extremely heavy and dense with characterization. I went back to try different dialogue options just to hear everything, knowing it wouldn't be much. I went to get all the achievements, I roleplayed my character in the scenes because I was so invested in what was happening. Maybe it's because I didn't know what was going to happen, or maybe it's that I knew exactly what was going to happen. There is a certain pain, an emotional truth of life itself this game captures so beautifully.

I first was introduced to this game because I read the writer's pieces on Medium (those are great too) and I expected this would be something I would like. What I didn't expect was the voice acting to be so amazing that I'm probably gonna struggle to take the drama heavyweights of the games industry seriously for a bit. If ANYTHING in this sounded like it's interesting to you I URGE you to try this one. Truly incredible stuff. Half a star deducted for the bad cooking minigame lol
