As a narrative first game, I really appreciate stories of falling out and noticing little things through its albeit hard yet thematic puzzles. I love how the puzzles are non-trivial and made me feel clever solving them which is rare in this genre.

What hurts this game the most is the lacking story considering its genre. I do sympathize with the characters, but I did not get a sense of their character or conflict with the fragmented approach to narrative. It feels like hitting the general points but not the details in between which makes stories special. Given its indie scale, I do understand the style and approach, but it left me wanting.

For some minor issues, moving an object is very rigid and feels unresponsive or clunky. This also lacks some accessibility options such as subtitles for the cutscenes (the audio mixing can be rough), a sprint option for the tedious traversal and probably a hint/skip puzzle system as they are not the focus (as much as I like them.)

This is still a good game with a heart and would not mind another iteration as a harder yet more focused puzzle game.
