I wish I got as into the story on this one as much as some other reviewers here because I have to say, I enjoyed some of y'alls reviews more than the actual game here. What I will say is that I'm baffled by the choice of including puzzles in this game. The game is relatively short, taking around 2 hrs to finish, and the only thing hindering progress are a handful of puzzles which as far as I can tell don't really add to the story. I had to look up the solutions for two of the puzzles, and I'm also not a huge fan of games that hide their "better" ending behind some obscure knowledge that most will use a guide to find. I think I would have enjoyed this a lot more as a short story because it doesn't really use the medium to its advantage here. In fact, its insistence on implementing commonly used elements of the medium actively hurt it.
