Great use of presentation and games as a medium to convey this story, some bugs aside. The religious themes are going to hit and miss depending on where you're at in life, though.
When I was an edgy budding athiest at 16 I would have loved this. But now I'm almost 30 and have consumed a lot of movies and books that hit these themes and questions with varying degrees of subtlety, so seeing them here feels a little overdone and not adding much to that conversation.
The game itself, however, does a lot with the medium to convey narrative. It borrows a few cinematic ideas, sure, but it's not too stuck in trying to mimic a worse version of a film the way others of have done over the years, and uses interactivity to convey ideas in a way that wouldn't work as well in film.
Can't wait to see how this game will inspire future developers!
