A lot of reviews about this game are conflicted, rightly so. This review will be as neutral as possible, and in my honest opinion after playing the game and reading many reviews, I feel like this game is worth playing (for $5 and under).

First of all, the story is very short. The game can easily be accomplished under an hour if you have experience with games of this genre (Dear Esther, Myst Series) and less than 5 minutes if you have a guide. However, the short story is compensated by how real and deep the story is which is enhanced by the fantastic voice acting and Stereo sound. This game is a coming of age story that will give you shivers in how real and relatable the story is. Some reviews comment on how the game makes you feel like you are solving a murder mystery or the house is haunted with certain hints (red hair dye in the bathroom, ghost games in the closet, satanic ritual pentagrams etc.) yet these are all explained by the story, the very real story. If you expect horror and mystery, this game isn't Sherlock Holmes, nor Amnesia. Ultimately this game will entertain those who love the point and click genre, as it is a very simple Dear Esther and has a similar feel to the newer Mysts, yet the game is universal in how understandable the story is, even if the game is shorter than I would like it to be
