I can at least appreciate the unique gameplay mechanic that utilizes webcam integration. Else, the story of the game is a bit too direct and contrived. I did not feel particularly connected to any character or theme presented in the context of the game. Ultimately I felt solicited to have an emotional reaction which had the opposite effect on me. The presentation of the narrative could have been more poignant had it felt more personal or perhaps less typical. I'm not even sure what exactly I am supposed to gather from the ending. I recognize that a lot of players were moved to tears at the climax, but I don't necessarily understand what exactly about it that is so provocative. Maybe people sense from the swelling of the music, the death of the protagonist, and a sweet anecdote from his mother that This Is Supposed To Be A Sad Moment. I can tell this project was a sentimental art piece from the lead designer so while I respect his intentions, I don't love the shallow writing style.
