After dropping it twice before, I avenged my past self and finally beat this thing.
I warmed up to it way more than I expected, but it's undeniable how crusty and unbending its game mechanics are. The sniper rifle controls should be considered a crime.
Letting you jump around the timeline as all these characters and discover secrets that unlock more paths for them, is an extremely neat and ambitious idea that would've worked nicely with a better narrative conceit.
Somehow I ended up really liking the cast, despite their relatively low screen time, because of the push and pull approach to this fragmented narrative. I was hanging off of every single line of dialogue, reading the files in the archive, to know more about these people and their goals.
The story builds a very interesting and mysterious timeline of events that's pretty cool to unravel and piece together. I also like that it doesn't answer every single thing of its larger setting, leaving just enough questions to keep the chilling atmosphere intact.
Very tough game to recommend to anyone I'd say. If it feels oppressive and menacing, almost haunted, I'd say the game is emitting the correct vibes and that's all you need to know about it.
