it's pretty impressive that an opening told entirely through text can be so affecting, and that the writing is so strong. you can see why valve acquired campo santo and their talented team. all that said, this definitely falls victim to most of the pitfalls of the walking sim genre. i hate to say it, but the climbing/hiking stuff felt pretty cumbersome, and the pacing didn't really work for me. i appreciate that this game gets to the point quickly, though.
