It's an ok game; super pretty visuals, though the narrative feels extremely disjointed with very little holding everything together. The twist at the end is solid, but it lacked the emotional impact that I expected because ultimately the narrative didn't really keep me enthralled all the way through, due to the constant and somewhat unrelated puzzles that the game makes you go through in order to get the true story's ending. The constant stuttering as I walked along didn't help either. And fuck the cursed miner in the ancient god puzzle, the last thing I need in a walking simulator is a jump scare zombie monster.

Basically, it's alright, and a visually impressive game, but I think What Remains of Edith Finch is almost exactly this but better thanks to a better told narrative and more interactive elements. And it doesn't have jump scares. Go play that instead.
