Very cryptic game, which feels more like an interactive David Lynch movie. I have to say that I couldn't quite connect with the game that well. The game is extremely text-heavy, which I appreciate when the text is meaningful. In this case, however, I often had the feeling that the texts were rather isolated and had no connection to the main characters or the story. The whole game reminds me more of poetry, it doesn't follow a clear narrative structure, but is more concerned with evoking feelings, especially through audiovisual stimuli, beautiful scenes, melancholic music. I liked what the game had to say thematically, especially in relation to guilt and shame, alcoholism and the resulting alienation and loss of control. It also touched on themes such as social inequality, which I liked. Overall, I'm rather ambivalent, but I don't regret playing the game. The religious lyrics in the songs got on my nerves a bit :D
