About the game

Experience the not-so-ordinary life of a young institutionalized woman in the 1950’s. Amidst the daily struggles and overbearing loneliness, she often sees things that others do not. However, as the imaginary begins to seep into reality, she realizes she may not be as crazy as she once thought.

All around i had a very enjoyable experience playing this, the characters are fun, the story is genuinely very entreating to go though, and the series as a whole have become one of my favorites. If you're into darker stories I'd recommend this game and the others in the series 100%.

I was so excited for this game after the first two only to be heavily dissapointed. the game runs horribly and i got stuck not even 10 minutews in because of a missing cutscene and cannot progressn at all. The first 2 games were beautiful and I hope this game gets major fixes because this is genuienlly so dissapointing.
