A fine story with some awkward scenes with music that unfortunately didn't illicit emotion nor felt as though it earned the duration of time to be played for as long as they are. I respect the direction it goes ultimately but it sort of plays out with the deuteragonist having a weirdly stunted feeling moment depending on how you played which for me just felt a little wrong and forced. Great pixel artwork but honestly I love the blue sort of illustrated moving images in certain transitional scenes a lot more I wouldn't mind playing an entire game that looked like that! The pixel artwork does have some strong key scenes though such as the parade which is hammed up a little much narratively but looks great besides the water/goop (?) you trudge through. The gameplay itself feels half baked and underdeveloped it could've gone further but what's here feels like it would be better served housed in something that doesn't involve occasionally awkwardly stealthing through small corridors and a some minor puzzles.

looks cool and started great then it just went downhill

O jogo prometia muito, muito mesmo, mas acaba caindo em um buraco sem fundo.

O capítulo 1 é um 5!mas a qualidade decai no capítulo 2 e 3, infelizmente...mas jogão!tenho que jogar a dlc ainda

LINDO DEMAIS, porém, um puta potencial desperdiçado, a premissa é maravilhosa, infelizmente o jogo foi mal aproveitado, tinha potencial para ser um dos maiores noirs indie, muita coisa que n fecha, muita coisa nao explicada, e o final termina meio morno demais, nao sabemos oq acontece com renee, clarice. Mas acho que uma continuaçao faria muito sentido, se nao thouver, um puta dum potencial desperdiçado msm. obs* joguei umas 4h a mais só p conseguir a conquista dos livros bugada, (se eu n conseguisse ela, minha avaliaçao seria menos ainda)
