Whereas the first game explored mental illness through surrealism, this one grounds the experience more in reality relatively speaking. I do appreciate this for a number of reasons, however, the game doesn’t make up for the lack of surrealism, i.e. the original’s appeal, in other ways, and instead sometimes feels as if you’re making your way through a glorified young adult visual novel. Regardless, the handling of its subject matter is just as good, and its use of humour is tactful and well done.
