A perfectly enjoyable point and click with a retro throwback style.

Its a game that runs on Aesthetic. Its pure old school point and click, from occasionally unclear directions and clicking on everything you can. Sometimes the path is straightforward, sometimes you need to hit a specific flag to activate the path, sometimes you can tell what those flags are, sometimes you can't. The greatest achievement of this game is that there's no pixel-hunting. That's one thing about retro point and clicks that I'm perfectly happy leaving behind.

The story is fine. The game never necessarily promised anything supernatural, and it was definitely filled with Evil Victorians, but its ultimate conclusion is kind of.... muted. Normally I wouldn't mind a story where there's no true villain, but its like... its more like they make it so the villain isn't culpable and it just kind of cuts away the fun of the drama. Everyone makes it out for the better and that's just sort of bleh for a game advertised as psychological thriller.

Despite all that, I just found this to be a pretty reasonable time. An hour or two with some spooks and scares and creepy Victorian fucks. Can't go wrong with that.
