If you like story-based walking simulators ala Soma, Firewatch, don't hesitate.

Great game, incredible graphics. I think much of this would work in VR. I hope they add it at some point.

Meh

Do you like walking simulators? Do you like looking for white circles to click on? Do you like a completely linear story? Do you like to have the control layout changing for each mission? I paid $6 for this. Waste of time and money. If you want a story about a screwy family pick up a freaking book and read Faulkner.

I wrote the above after exiting Barbara's scene before entering her room, violating the linear walkthrough. Had to start the game over to proceed.

This is a much better game than that terrible duck game and nostalgia train. Very good animation and some truly clever visuals.

But I never cared about any of the characters, including the narrator. I guess it was worth $6. But I am done with walking simulators.

It's very artistic and the writing is beautiful. You're exploring your creepy childhood home

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017

It's more story driven than typical video games. It's very artistic and the writing is beautiful. You're exploring your creepy childhood home. The Finch family believes they're cursed and any time a member died, they would make a shrine and seal off their room. They also have a graveyard in the backyard where all the Finch's are buried, so that's nice and creepy. You make your way through secret passages and learn about how your family members all died in horrible ways. It's defiantly more of an interactive story, so it's light on action. But the story it tells is fascinating, mysterious, and a bit creepy.

Great interactive novel

If you like interactive novels, you'll love this game. This game is geared towards adults and is playable by non-gamers (i.e., accessible controls).

If you like watching paint dry

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

I played it until the end, which isn't very long. I kept thinking, "I hope this is about over." All you do is walk, slowly, around an island and through a cave or two. Every very few minutes the narrorator will tell a little more of the story. It is incredibly boring. If you feel the need to hear the story, just watch the play through on YT and fast forward through all the walking.
