A great story presented very well; I particularly like how the game is willing to present you with clearly unreliable narrators, and leaves you to determine what is actually the truth. Stylistically, its also great; the different stories are (for the most part) very creative and diverse in both tone and presentation, and it was always exciting to see how the next one would play.

But at the end of the day, there really is no gameplay here. I know this is one of the classic walking sims, so that should be expected, but some of the story sections come /dangerously/ close to having actual gameplay, and if they'd commited to that just a tiny bit more I think I would have found this a much more immersive and memorable experience. Although having said that, the times when the game comes closest to having gameplay (especially in the first story) largely end up being pretty janky and unpolished.

All in all, there's definitely a great game in here. I really don't think it would have taken much more in terms of interactivity for me to absolutely adore this. Alas, we do not live in that world.
