It's an incredibly moving story that tackles some important topics and is likely to have a pretty broad appeal, but it's held back a bit by some pacing issues in the first half. Combined with gameplay loops generally lacking depth and ultimately repetitive, this can lead to the middle segments feeling like an absolute slog, further punctuated by a soundtrack that's not quite varied enough for the game's length. Still, the overall playtime is pretty short, and it's well worth putting up with this game's minor hiccups to get to its true heart - a touching narrative & convincing characters that will likely stay with you for a long, long time.
