ngl wasn't entirely sold on this beyond the level of "great gowns, beautiful gowns" until the final third which is nothing but incredible setpieces, the descent into full occult cosmic horror dovetailing with the fever-pitched intimacy of the escalating drama - the nuanced if somewhat jaggedly contraposed accounts of the abuse of authority and trust, the complicity of a community in the religious trauma of a child, and the nightmarish understanding of the world that that trauma imposes hollowing that community out and turning it into an aggressive, bewildering, decaying monstrosity. the scene with Lisa and Harry in Nowhere is the obvious peak but everything after is really great too, fantastic game
