What a great step forward from the original Distraint. Everything I liked about the first game holds -- great atmosphere, very cool visuals, excellent music, but the presentation is even more dynamic, movement is less agonizingly slow, and the introspection has really been stepped up. While some of the scenes may have been a bit on the nose, and the very last scene didn't quite land for me, the ending otherwise actually nearly had me tearing up. Excellent, heartfelt little horror game that is just a scene or two away from being a favorite for me. Highly recommended.
