The story is pretty great but it would probably work better as a short story or a film. It is told purely through voice-over, and so doesn't really benefit much from being a videogame. The ending was quite poignant and well-crafted though.

The gameplay on the other hand feels like a early tech-demo for Annapurna's Journey, where you explore some admittedly quite beautiful landscapes, while the voice-over tries really hard to tie it into the almost unrelated story.

Overall, it's okay but only really starts to reach it's full potential at the very end. A hesitant Yes from me, but there really are much better games also available for this price-point. Loved the soundtrack though.
