The hauntingly evocative visuals and sounds are incredible, and the mostly diegetic UI and adventure puzzling are unique and satisfying to figure out. The early and late chapters were my favorite, but the middle is still solid. The contentious bit is the combat; I understand it’s meant to be avoided and is ultimately limited to very few encounters, but a couple of those sections have the potential to be such miserably tedious speed bumps that I’m not sure the tension they otherwise add is worth it. Everything aside from the combat kept me motivated to push through the couple of frustrating scenes I ran into, though.
