When I think about this game I think about the gorgeous environments, the captivating magical realism of the presented world, extraordinarly well-written characters, one of a kind soundtrack and atmosphere, as well as some of the most original design choices I've ever seen in a narrative video game.

When I play this game I am being tortured by walls of text consisting of small talk or descriptions of the surroundings, I'm met with choices that don't make sense and I constantly have the feeling of almost understanding everything, which always gets destroyed by a singular line of dialogue that contradicts my current interpretation / way of thinking.

I don't fully get this game, but I don't think I have to. While the experience wasn't pleasant all the way through, some of its moments and characters will stay with me for a long time.
