I've never gotten very far in any survival horror game I've played in the past, but although My Big Sister isn't quite a true entry to the genre I feel it's at least a good gateway to the gameplay loops and story themes those titles typically focus on.

Honestly this game surprised me in how great it really was - there's a couple of "gotcha" jump scares sure but they're hardly the focus in this winding narrative-driven game, instead focusing on the sprawling mystery of just what the hell is going on with a constant sense of unease throughout. It manages to keep a charming artstyle and soundtrack whilst being able to effortlessly veer both into unsettling territory at the drop of a hat and the fact it manages to wrap it all up with dialogue that can match that tone whilst also having a little fun at the same time was pretty entertaining to experience.

I won't pretend to understand the ending (or rather the multiple endings) but I at least enjoyed the interactions of both sisters throughout the experience and the whole thing ended up feeling like some twisted version of Spirited Away which was cool.

I'd easily recommend this game - an extremely fun few hours for sure!
