Pros:
- decently engaging plot
- I always love when a more narrative type game like this has voice acting because it feels cinematic. I bought this game because I love Rear Window so much.

Cons:
- terrible gameplay at times e.g. you just point another character where to "hide" in the open plaza or you just wait for time to pass. it felt like a chore to play sometimes
- this is maybe the same point as above, but this had lazy storytelling in my opinion. I understand the whole point is your limited pov, but it felt like the creators approached this simply as an obstacle instead of having fun with the concept. like the game is never as thrilling as it thinks it is. maybe my issue is it feeds info to the player too easily??
- the plaza you're overlooking often feels lifeless. the thrill of a film like Rear Window was how alive the community felt and the voyeurism in that. here, the plaza always had the same like 4 characters just standing there. there wasn't traffic. most windows went unused.

not sure i'm articulating myself well but tl;dr the premise and voice acting are kind of cool but I wish more was done with the limited pov because it's such a cool idea
