So impressed by this game! It balances so many different narratives at once and does so expertly. The fact that the game deals with such a difficult and precarious world (one that mirrors our own and our own individual lives), makes jokes in every direction without becoming cynical, and ultimately imagines a better world no matter how difficult it may be to get there is amazing. Great gameplay interactions, artwork, music, and characters. Loved this one so much.

I really hope this game gets re-released at some point because it slaps! Super reminiscent of PT and some of the earlier Silent Hill games (2 in particular). And similar to Detention it has a really strong sense of time and place.

The feeling of connecting various pieces of observation into a coherent whole that this game delivers is great. Giving the player confirmation after 3 correct matches was also very smart to make sure you feel like you're on the right trail and still making progress. The mixture of old school PC aesthetics, high seas pulp fiction, and a murder mystery narrative investigated by an insurance adjuster works spectacularly. Loved this game.
