this game is okay! the main interactive mechanic of the AR videos of the crew is a pretty neat concept and serviceably engaging, though i feel like they could have gotten a little funkier with it. the plot is solid, if a bit straightforward and heavy-handed for my taste. the characterization of the crew members is the strongest part of the game and the most obvious throughline from gone home. mostly successful in feeding you info while still feeling like organic exploration. sareh and ODIN's dynamic was my favorite, and their scene together in botany felt particularly standout. overall though, for whatever reason it didn't really emotionally resonate with me, so i think the whole thing fell a little flat.
