I didn't play this game in 2012, and in 2020 it definitely feels like a 2012 game.
It was certainly an interesting experience and it does make serious efforts in conveying its themes using gameplay and art — with mixed to positive results. I'm just not sure the experience this game brings isn't superceded by newer and more well-realized games, even ones such as Giant Sparrow's own "What Remains of Edith Finch".
It's a curio from a different indie era. As such, it might be fascinating and enchanting to some, while just smelling of dust and mold to others.
