A beautiful concept with a few fumbles that didn't ruin the experience, but kept it from being a masterpiece.

The blinking mechanic worked 95% of the time, and I'm pretty sure I had my calibration as good as it could have been, but it misfired or didn't register a few times. Fortunately these weren't crucial moments, but they just broke my suspension of disbelief and made me second guess myself when I should have been focusing.

Overall I really liked the story and the acting, and it definitely delivered some real emotional gut punches. Unfortunately, I had more of an emotional response during the fake story than the real one. I think this could have been a straightforward game about our lives inevitably slipping through our fingers- that concept is universal and touching enough without a sick child trope.

I'm still very impressed and grateful this exists, and I hope more people use the concept (maybe in a horror game, please?).
