Game unfinished (I got 2/3rds of the way through I think?) as it induced motion sickness in me multiple times, even though I'd literally never experienced motion sickness before anywhere else in my life. My actual enjoyment levels are substantially lower than my rating indicates as a result of this, but I'm trying to be fair to the game in my rating.
The story and philosophical portions of the game have some compelling moments, but also some bits that really don't work for me; most notably the choose-your-own-adventure portions force you to take very limiting answers that force you down philosophical paths that likely don't match up with what you really think. The in-game puzzles are mostly enjoyable, and there are some great a-ha moments, but I think a lot of the puzzles for the first half of the game are ultimately very simple and only appear to have any challenge to them due to their presentation (where you have to walk around/look around a large amount to actually see what is going on). Seemed like a fine game, but nothing special.
