Enjoyable and short less than 3 hours but the gameplay that's here is fine it services the story being told - gameplay that's here is effective because of subtle interaction like a shoveling/shooting segment, without getting into spoilers they break your attention and snaps you back into focus very well reminded me of sequences like What remains of Edith Finch (Lewis' story.) Unfortunately I don't like it when games don't tell you how to play the game I hate to say it but if I have to check the controls settings to know how to play a game - even as inconsequential as being in control is here - It's a pain. It was especially awkward during the final act which has you cook a meal of your own choice, a good and meaningful send off to the narrative but actively engaging with it was a bit of a nightmare, I reloaded the scenario a few times because I lost something I picked up or couldn't see it the kitchens sorta bright lmao, and the lack of a consistent on screen dot to centre myself made it worse (it would've gone a long way.) I enjoyed the story for what it was, though with it being very "American" lets say there's certain topics/themes as well as the dry (though very well done) southern accent by the VA that just grated on me a little mainly just war related things. Worth experiencing because it is well written and scripted out it's just got small problems, but if you've got 2 hours give or take it's worth the price of admission.
