I enjoyed it overall. I found the voice acting to be a bit off, everyone besides maybe the dad sounded like they weren't professionals in a way. I also found the art style, particularly for the characters, to be quite repulsive and it took me out of the game a lot. It's a fun gimmick but when it's only a 2 hour experience about the typical sick child storyline, nothing seems crazy groundbreaking. It's using some really cool tech but only scratching the surface of what's possible with it from a storytelling perspective. Also super buggy on Mac.

I've waited and waited to experience this story, and finally, I have done it. It fully lived up to any kind of expectation I had in my head, and playing it with these enhanced graphics was an amazing experience. While the port isn't fantastic, I only crashed once and the only real issue is this is the first game I've had to play on medium graphics instead of ultra.

The story told through the cut scenes is absolutely fantastic. One of the greatest morally grey-painted tales I've ever experienced. I grew so attached to these characters that I'm honestly scared to play Part Two knowing the smallest spoilers.

I loved how they set up the world-building of this game. The mini stories you uncover throughout the exploration of the locations such as the sewer people and the helicopter crew in the DLC are such engaging narratives, and they're only told through context and pages. Those aspects made the game feel more alive and made exploring a fun part of the experience I was always ensuring I completed. Without these little breaks of lore, I don't think the sneaking/shooting gameplay would have been nearly as engaging for me.

The story took so many unexpected turns I never really knew what was going to happen next. I say this a lot in these reviews, but one of the best gaming experiences I've had. This is the first video game since Undertale like 5 years ago to make me cry, and the number of times I had to stand up from my desk to take in the gut-wrenching scene I had just witnessed was plentiful. I loved every second of it, just wish it was longer.

This game is really really good. It's so close to 5 stars for me, but just falls a little short because, well, it's too short. I appreciated the gameplay even if the style isn't my cup of tea. I found the decision story elements much more intriguing and loved the strange narrative it was setting up. The ending is such a WTF moment, when I saw the credits I thought "There has to be some kind of postgame story." Nope. I wouldn't call the game unfinished, but for the main content, it only took me 4 hours. And I think those 4 hours were just scratching the surface.
