“The story is stuck in my head; I won't forget it.”
“Story kept me invested and played the whole game in one stream.”
“The story itself is pretty unique and I found myself quite intrigued and wanting to reach the end so the whole story can come together.”
“As the story drew to a close, I felt disappointed that I wouldn’t get to see the game continue its upward trajectory.”
“For a game that wants to tell a deep story, I feel the player shouldn't have to go through so many difficult puzzles, but that's just me.”
“But other than that, the game kept me in a limbo of mild frustration mixed with sheer indifference – the storytelling did absolutely nothing for me, the platforming felt clunky, the puzzles became repetitive after a while, and every attempt at building a creepy atmosphere fell disappointingly flat.”
