This is a game I moreso feel neutural about than really negative, but I have more negative to say than positive. The story is good enough for this style of game, if a bit cliche.
A big problem though when playing just through the main story is how slow you walk. There's no sprint button and this game is just SCREAMING for one. You spend most of the game inside the hospital walking back and fourth from one end of the building to the other. This gets more and more annoying as you go along. What also doesn't help is you don't have a map on you. There's a couple maps scattered around the building, but it would have been nice to just have one available at all times. I can't even count the amount of times I had to walk back to the center of the building to look to the map, figure out where the game was wanting me to go, then go there and repeat until the end.
Upon replaying sections of the game to get the rest of the achievements, another problem arose. You can't skip cutscenes. You can skip when she's reading text like a doctor's note or whatever, but the second a cutscene starts, you're stuck there till it ends. Can't pause or anything.
For a walking sim, it's fine. If you're going to just play through it once, you might enjoy it. However, $19 is asking a lot and I'd recommend just getting Firewatch instead since that's still my favorite walking sim that none of the others I've played have lived up to.
