Utterly disgusted that this uses the exact same themes as Pathologic 2, came out in the same year, revolves around the most standard storyline structure and dialogue, and somehow managed to win an award for Best Narrative of the Year in three different awards shows.
And when I mean standard I seriously mean every sense of the word, let's hear it for our #1 companions:
-Budget stealth mechanics
-Upgrade mechanics that add very little to anything
-Uncharted gift style items to get as you play
-Walking sim that spends too much time making you go through fake loading screens
I probably wouldn't be so frustrated if the story wasn't so asinine in its construction, you have a family who gets killed with a sister who doesn't get to see her brother often at all immediately come together with melodrama sprinkled throughout with writing so borderline on bad that I really rolled my eyes a few times.
The one positive I can give to the game at all is the aesthetic. It LOOKS pretty I guess???? The dialogue delivery is really strung awfully, and the poor lipsyncing doesn't help.
Man just go play Pathologic 2 why the fuck would you touch this. (5/10)
