It took a second playthrough of the game to appreciate it on its own terms. The first time I tried it, I rushed through the game in a single sitting and was left feeling disappointed by how slight the game felt, both in terms of mechanics and length. This time through, knowing it was a short experience, I spaced it out, playing an act a day. I was surprised by how much more I enjoyed the game. The use of game mechanics to tell the story is truly impressive and is better experienced than explained. That alone makes this game worth a recommendation as it tells a story in a way only a game could, which is good as the story is a bit cliche.
