I don't think I would have tried this game if I knew that it's secretly about heavy generational trauma. There are certainly moments of the game direction that might feel self-indulgent to some, but I think anyone else that connects with the themes will find it a very meaningful experience.

For narrative games such as this one, I think the biggest value they could have is to leave a lasting impression. And while I could pontificate about the Hong Kong diaspora stuff lacking cohesion and the loose movement, I think in a couple years I'll only remember how this story made me feel.
