Awesome Point-and-click, Lynch-inspired horror. A reverse-detective adventure into the dark mind of an individual.

You play as William, a new kid in town who was trouble expressing emotions and making natural faces. Instead of choosing dialogue options, you shape William's face to convey a certain emotion you find appropriate for the situation. The expressions that you pick, combined with your actions, heavily affect the narrative and its endings. Which, there are 15 (16) of them. But, you don't have to get ALL of them to get some enjoyment out of it, necessarily.

The story is pretty cryptic, in a Lynchian way, so don't expect to fully understand it. Although, each ending helps unveils its themes and meanings. The subjects vary from reflections on consciousness, to even paranormal tulpas. It gets pretty meta at times, too. Really worth analyzing.

The visuals are Dither-punk style with fixed camera angles, reminiscent to the Silent Hill games. And while it looks great, it doesn't always work in the game's favor. Some paths and objects are hard to distinguish, and transitions between each angle feel a little clunky to traverse.

And while they nailed the Lynch vibe, and it mostly works, at times it really does feel a little try-hardie or tacked on. Also, I'm not a fan of the ARG side of the game. Just not my thing, personally. Encountered a few bugs, as well, with one of them not letting me progress on the endings. I did found a fix, though.

Great game overall, recommended. I'll increase the rating if the devs fix some of its bugs.

★★★ – Good ✅

Loved the 'Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk' reference too. 😌

Este juego sería muy interesante de probar para ver si puede ayudar a personas del espectro autista, para que puedan ser capaces de entrenar su percepción de las expresiones faciales

Si, pensaba lo mismo. Aunque aveces tenés que luchar contra el juego (te mueve la cara solo) y terminas con expresiones tenebrosas sin querer.
