An excellent little adventure game, light on gameplay systems but with enough there to keep you engaged. All of the little interactions with the world add enough flavour to entertain, and further justify its existence as a game rather than in a more passive storytelling medium. Driving the Muvel is a particular highlight. There isn't much to it, but finally getting the keys and cruising around the mountainside in that thing was an enjoyable time.

Unfortunately, enemies suck. It's nice that they're there, justifying several gameplay systems (player upgrades, the gun, pitchforks, several items) but it would have been nice if they were a bit easier to work around. Ultimately, I think it's good that they were included to avoid the game being a walking simulator or something in the vein of Outlast, but it would have been nicer for the execution to have been more engaging.
