Builds a meta-relationship with the main character through emotional connection in such an effective way. Specially because to a certain extent, Henry and the player are in the same shoes, trying to escape reality. And when the ending comes, it hits the same way for both (even the players with negative views on it agree without realizing). Crushing game, but amazing at what it sets out to do. Loved it.

(Disappointing how the game sets the mood from the very start with a grounded heartbreaking story, but people still expect mysteries, conspiracy theories, aliens... but whatever, I'm just being cranky)
