A lot more imaginative with the environment breaking down and word-based interactions than the previous bonus episode, but the combat continues to wear thin and I'm still left wishing this embraced just being a 3D adventure. That wheel portion was brutal, too. It's been a while since I've had a game trigger my motion sickness so badly.
I really appreciate how much they're playing with how little we actually know about Alan, Barry, and Alice's relationships before the events of this story, making it difficult to take the horrible things we see in the dark place as entirely deceptive or just manifestations of self-hatred. It drags the story back into encouraging interpretation and active engagement instead of the rather straightforward final sections of the base game which wrapped things up a little too nicely for my liking.
