This might very well be one of if not the best example of good storytelling I’ve ever seen, played or read.

The game hooks you pretty quickly, with amazingly immersive controls which pair up with great attention to detail, that makes even the small things feel lively (like having to spin keys in doorhandles manually, or manually pull the doors open). The amazing immersion paired with the atmosphere around you makes it all feel pretty ominous, but also instigating. Essentially you feel the exact same way as the protagonist, quite scared of the odd feeling the house gives you while still making you curious about what’s within.
When the game really begins, as the first story starts, I instantly went from being just hooked and curious to being genuinely amazed. The way they tell the stories, pairing up everything perfectly, controls, soundtrack, and graphics to really make you feel like you’re the one in the moment, not the character. That’s what makes this game special. While the stories themselves are good, what really stands out is the way they’re told. Never have I seen such good linear storytelling ever. It’s a truly beautiful experience. If you’re a fan of story-based games this right here is a must-play. Amazing.
