The verdict

A short, deeply emotional story about grief and love, told through gorgeous art, music and voice acting. Skip it if you want real gameplay or challenge, since it's mostly walking and clicking.

Great for

Fans of emotional narrative games like Life is Strange or Firewatch, ideally played in one cozy sitting

Main risk

Very little gameplay and only about 4-5 hours, so it may feel like a short interactive movie for the price
