I have never played a game quite like this. It truly is a fascinating way to tell a story and the setting is so lovingly crafted that it lingers in your memory each time you put it down. Clearly the creators have spent a bit of time listening to BBC Radio 4’s ‘The Archers’.

Did I grasp the complexities of the narrative in their entirety? Certainly not. Yet I would replay this game again to better my understanding. That is not something you can say often in the world of videogames.

I have no earthly idea how it benefits the tale to have you unable to walk/run at a normal pace for a videogame. It isn’t a massive problem but on the couple of occasions I found myself lost, having to backtrack for minutes on end left me somewhat frustrated.
