At the time of me writing this I finished the game a good few hours ago and even after letting it sit on my head for a while I'm still not sure what the fuck I just played. The story will probably make more sense in repeat playthroughs which I'm totally down for as this game only took me 40 minutes. It was a very odd experience, for me it was like entering a movie theater halfway through the sequel of a movie you've never watched and just staying to see the rest of it. I was utterly confused, and yet quite enthralled by whatever that was. Its a very well done experience though, I found the atmosphere this game builds extremely immersive and pants shittingly tense, and the low res, ps1-ish graphics help give it this sense of familiarity, but something in there is wrong, and yet you can't quite put your finger in it. This game is the kind of experience that lingers in your head, and I'm glad I tried it.
