I liked this a lot, though the controls are a little iffy. The story is good, and the narrator’s voicework is exceptional. Graphics are lovely.

I was thrown off by the tentacle monster, because you can get past it in a way the authors didn’t intend (as David describes, above). Also, the final boss battle is quite tough, in a game that had nothing like it before.

The controls and subtitles are TERRIBLE. The subtitles didn’t even match up with what the narrator was saying and it would take forever to play the next scene because the subtitles are trying to catch up. It was so annoying! The game’s good, but the controls and subtitles suck.

Interesting fact that might’ve not been intended:

It might look like the only way of surpassing those obstacles is by being mean. You know, the old “game forces you to do X and then asks you why you did such a horrible thing.” But actually both obstacles can be glide upon. What happens if you fly over them is, the girl is blocked, unable to go on by a mysterious force (her morbidness I presume) and has to go back and commit the crime that you now know was completely unnecessary. So the girl’s not only doing bad stuff to achieve her goals, she’s even putting herself in danger and enduring excessive effort just to generate some more suffering in the world.

controls aren’t so good but some pretty visuals…and good morals!
