Went into this almost blind on recommendation. Thought this was my first Yames experience but I've actually played Discover My Body before, didn't realize this until afterwards.
This game absolutely NAILS its atmosphere. The crunchy, prerendered mid-90s windows point-and-click atmosphere is super authentic. Reminds me of what I've seen of Garage (disclaimer: I have not played Garage).
Gameplay is nothing special. The game survives on its aesthetic, atmosphere, and writing alone. It took me another 30-40 mins to get the Good Ending, although the Bad Ending was also serviceable. Effectively creepy and unsettling.
[some spoilers]
My only gripes are that I wish the game communicated that you need to feed Grandpa the inedible items in order to get him to barf key items needed for the "Good Ending". By the time I'd realized it, it was already too late and I had to restart. I also wish some puzzle and the actual gameplay was a little more involved. Overall though, a very solid game from beginning to end.
