They muddy the water, to make it seem deep...

Don't waste your time. Game seldom worked for me, I couldn't move most of the time. And when I could, it was only slightly better than not being able to move.

No spoilers ahead - just thoughts
I'm new to these kinds of games, I became interested after seeing a video about outer wilds and instantly falling in love (which was pretty recent). I randomly googled games similar to that, but free and came across this. It was fantastic, Marie's room tells the story of a difficult and traumatic past and a scary but IMO happy ending. The game can be completed in about 30 mins, but I promise you it'll be on your mind for way longer. The writing is a 10/10 and the art and soundtrack just fit perfectly.

I'm nobody but I highly recommend you give it a try.
