Honestly, I think whatever you bring to this game is what you'll get out of it. If you expect a game where you have to hone your skills through repetition and practise, you'll get nothing out of it and it'll be a waste of your time and money. If you expect a visual novel type experience where the story unfolds at your chosen pace, you'll get something more but it's still not likely to be satisfying for you.

If you're looking for a game that explores adult relationships (not "Adult") leaving you to read in as much or as little as you would with any other acquaintance, this is spot on. Frustrated by the lack of explicit story in Dear Esther? Say away. Though Dear Esther was a brilliant, touching, sad, tight little piece of storytelling? Come right in, we've got something great for you here.
