Some fun three hour jank point and click. The story's pretty predictable, not great voice acting, the puzzles are iffy, there's some DIRE pixel-hunting in a few parts. But its a 3D point and click and sometimes those are features instead of bugs.
I will say, I thought the story was wrapping up pretty concretely into a solid story about childhood trauma, and then it kinda swerves to do a weird split-personality/hearing voices thread that's just a major bummer. The core narrative thread of how a traumatized child interprets her peaceful surroundings as threats is strong enough as is. Adding in the implication that little Fiona was ~crazy~ is just pissing on the solid character drama that was working fine up until the end.
