    • “The only bad thing I have to say about the game is that its standout mechanic (having a parallel version of yourself that you control simultaneously) feels underutilized - you can only use it in certain areas and it is a short game.”
    • “I had a love/hate relationship with it at first due to some glitchy mechanics, but it seems the last update really ironed that stuff out and I was able to finish the game without restarting.”
