This game grows on you considerably as you play. Each route adds just enough details to the overall mystery to keep you thinking. It's a slow drip of information that encourages you to solve the mystery and theorize for yourself rather than just going along with the ride. The puzzles are similar in having that perfect level of complexity. They make you think but aren't so obtuse that you ever feel like anything is impossible. No convoluted sequences you need to follow, no pixel hunts, just short logic puzzles you can solve in one sitting. When you reach a plot revelation or solve a puzzle, you feel good knowing you figured things out on its own. It's a fairly short and simple game, but it knows exactly where to focus to give you a fantastic experience to the end. Just don't quit after getting the knife ending, that left a sour taste in my mouth on my first try.
