Not sure how I ended up with this one. Maybe a Humble Bundle.

The game itself is just a walking sim. You walk around environments that you don't interact with aside from specific points where you either talk to an old man, look at exhibits featuring hiding places, or commit suicide. No really.

The game is fucking gorgeous. Go check out screenshots on Steam. It's legit beautiful.

However, is something a game when there's no actual game play? I genuinely don't know.

Some walking sims are awesome. SOMA was amazing, but this one, I think, tries to be too intelligent for its own good. Sometimes a writer gets too cute with words and symbolism and the meaning can get muddled. I think this is one of those times.

Skip it unless you get it for free, then run through it just for the visuals.
