Totally exceptional environmental storytelling that presents The Oldest House as a place that breathes, pulsates, and shifts as if irritated. The shooting is fairly fun, but I wish it had given me some more abilities to make it really fast and zippy. The ashtray maze is one of the peak moments, and the rest of the game doesn't quite reach that level of forward propulsion. The story also goes out of its way to be overly obtuse, and I feel like a more straightforward emotional throughline would have had a heavier impact.
