I really enjoyed this one, playing through in a single sitting (approx 3 hours to complete). This emotional and spooky tale is split between three playable characters, a young girl, a knight, and an old man (who has the majority of the runtime). Each play quite differently, with a focus on narrative, action and light puzzle platforming respectively.

The atmosphere is off the chart, with the pixel perfect greyscale aesthetic, haunting soundtrack and crunchy sound design. The enemies and encounters are suitably spooky, and navigating the fantastically grim environments is a delight, especially when the rain kicks in during the second half.

The ending sequence is my only major complaint. Approximately 10 minutes of cutscenes wrap up the game, feeling to me like the development budget ran out. If this sequence had been playable I'd have likely scored this a 4.5 (especially the knights story where it appears a final boss was changed to a cutscene).

Dark and depressing but with a final message of love, this falls just short of greatness.
