What players say
Players compare it favorably to Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch, calling it a short, emotional walking simulator about grief and family. The voice acting and writing are widely praised, and most say it avoids cheap jump scares. A few players find the story dull or the puzzles tedious, and there are reports of performance problems on Steam Deck.
