this is a very aesthetic indie game with a great concept which unfortunately falls prey to the trap of being severely underbaked. somewhere between the text messages and talking to the old lady i took a guess at what the plot of the game would be, and i was exactly correct beat for beat, twist and all.

i can imagine a world in which this game was a really compelling, well-written mystery in which we do tons of detective work and chase down dead ends due to our own desperate hubris and eventually reach the fateful ending of this game, and that hypothetical version of the game would be a masterpiece. as it stands, it's just a short point-and-click with a lot of heart and not a lot of substance. i look forward to what comes next from this team.
