“Literally one of the best games I've ever played. It's almost been 2 years since I played it and I'm still sad over the ending. I feel this game is now more relevant to current world affairs than it has ever been”

“All in all, it’s a strong initial start. While a little disorientating and stumbling at points, it’s believable as this player experience mirrors the confusion of Sean and Daniel, trying to find their way. There are lots of decisions to make and the game doesn’t pull punches in…”
