I really only gave it another star because of Bullet. This game had some interesting concepts, but absolutely squandered them all in the end.
It was a cool idea to have your dog so tied intrinsically to the story, but after poor Bullet got stuck on trees for the third time, I realized they hadn't really fleshed it out enough.
There is no way to EVER know how to get the good ending unless you look it up beforehand, and it will feel like you were trolled by the first playthrough.
It is the definition of a walking simulator. You will loop through the canyon 7 times. you will loop through the house so many times I lost count. It just drags on, and on, and on ad nauseum.
Probably the most egregious part to me though, is tacking on a PTSD story from a returning soldier. To try and tie that to a Blair Witch curse just feels kind of gross and exploitative.
The only thing that would've scared me about this game was paying for it, but luckily I got it for free.
