A short and sweet narrative walking sim with a really unique premise. The writing, for me, was hit-or-miss, but the performances hit much more often than they missed, and i think the high points easily outweigh the low. A lot of the quiet moments feel alternately tense and calm, and it's hard for me to place the overall vibe here, but it's very evocative. I cried during one scene, and another had me on the edge of my seat. Steam tells me I finished in in 78 minutes. I'll be looking forward to what Doc and the team do next!

Edit: I just noticed the achievements list (don't look until after you beat it), and it pleases me to know that if I wanted to revisit this game in a couple years, I can do some things differently. The game really masks that in a way that feels natural. I didn't think there was any wiggle room. I don't feel compelled to immediately hop back in, but that gives me a reason to replay it after some time away to ruminate.
