The combat feels like an afterthought and I wish it didn't exist; I think the idea of being able to negotiate/talk your way out of everything with prior knowledge is more than enough. Also as a very minor gripe, the controls are set in such a way where you can't sprint and jump at the same time, which irritated me during the limited sections of platforming and climbing. But besides that, these guys have the right idea on how to make a good time loop puzzle game with an interesting narrative and discussion. I think they've done it even better than The Sexy Brutale in fact. The epilogue is a great catharsis, and overall I'd say this is a nice snug little game if you're just looking for an interesting take on walking simulators with puzzles.
