this is a weird game. there are some incredible "aha" moments and clever uses of the time loop mechanic, but it also is restrictive in weird ways. there are so many times where a logical solution is not presented and instead you have to do whatever abstruse thing the game deems as a good solution. furthermore, its story is just monumentally fucked up. and like, it's fine for a story to be fucked up if there is a point to it, but this is fucked up in a way that doesn't even really say anything interesting or make sense—it just seems like the goal is to shock people for the sake of shocking people. also, why cast james mcavoy and daisy ridley if you're just gonna have them do sub-par american accents?
