The first game in this Cage-rilogy, and what an awful start. the game has some good points, but most of the time it's a boring or drustrating mrdd mess. Neither the L and R QTEs or the dumb Simon Says QTEs are really challenging or enjoyable (specailly the SS ones because I feel they distract too much from what's happening druing them), and especially later on can go for way way too long, the swiping to select things is...fine, but feels weird and unnessecary at points like the sex scene or choosing dialogue options, and I feel that the exploring parts can be really boring a lot of the time.

And the story? MAN. This could've been a saving throw because (outside of the bad fluff moments) I think this was a legit great drama with supernatural elements. It's starts off pretty strong (after the almost 5 minute long cutscene), The main characters and some of the prominent side characters are likeable, and I feel the mystery is pretty interesting, BUT that that all drops in the second half where it just does Matrix shit and loses itself in the stupidity od itself, alongside all three endings being bad as well as being either disgustingly happy (the good ending) or more or less game overs (the other two endings).

This game sucks. Both OG and Remaster, and I don't want to come back to this again.

Oh also the music is good and it looks alright.
