It's pretty excellent. Much more complex, thematically rich than the first game. The ending is difficult. The game loads a bunch of exposition and reveals into the final 20min, which makes it hard to process. But chew on it for a bit afterwards and you'll find there's a lot to think about. Kind of fridge horror, if the nature of time, purpose, and parenting are scary to you.

The game's a bit buggy (not atypical for Night School) and it definitely could have used another 30min at the end to let those final moments breathe. But it's a worthy sequel and I had a great time with it.
