A singularly interesting game, with fantastic performances, tone, and mystery. The DIY approach to figuring out the story is both the game's greatest strength and weakness. It's awesome to get disparate pieces of information and construct the narrative of what happened, but the "random" nature of progression through the clips wore on me, along with the annoying rewind mechanics. Absolutely one of the most fascinating games I have played, and there is nothing quite like it. I eventually stepped away from the game once I felt like I "got" what was going on, which made the ending of the whole experience somewhat lackluster. But the performances, unsettling atmosphere, and astonishing production value will stick with me. The trust that the creators have in the player to "figure it out" themselves is commendable, and it's great that it's up to the player to follow the clues for as long as they want to.
