Very touching story on a kid named Joel and the parents experience and moments during a difficult time. Very warming dialogue mixed in with heartbreaking lines that bring you back to the reality of cancer. Gameplay wise very janky however story wise - amazing. Cleverly layered hints with the battery being low on the phone and always rolling onto the horse giving the hopeless feeling of the outcome always being the same. Dehydration specifically was an incredible chapter that was jarring to sit through. Very eye opening, especially in the scene with all the cards. An intimate and emotional experience all around.

Este juego me ha hecho sentir cosas que ningún otro juego ha sido capaz de replicar
