    The game starts strong with enough exploration and mystery to keep you curious throughout. I had a really good time with this short experience and the ending was honestly a little hard to digest (quite traumatic, to say the least). If you enjoy walking simulators with an emotional story and a mystery that slowly unfolds, then this one is well worth your time.

    A collection of illogical "happenings" that require you to wonder endlessly around a fairly large space just waiting to come across something that happens. Then when it does, you have no idea what the connection is, or what to do next. A pretentious, pointless waste of time. Coupled with auto-save only which appear to be fairly widely spaced so you loose any progress, and frequent glitches and stalls.
