ReviewCrazy high production value. I was blown away from the intro alone. The pacing, the careful use of small animations in place of some static renders, the cinematography, the incredible soundtrack - it all syncs up to produce an unbelievable atmosphere.

The story itself doesn't lag behind in terms of tension and engagement, although the fact that you see some scenes from other characters' perspective takes away a bit of the emotional impact (you have information that your character doesn't have, and that makes his emotional state feel disconnected in one situation in particular). The dialogue fits well into the environment and gives each character their own believable and not too forced idiosyncrasies, making it easy to connect with them.
