“All time favorite story game, played it on xbox when i was younger just to get easy 1000G score and then fell in love with it. Bought it on steam to play through it again. Highly recommend if you're into story…”
“A beautiful and bitter-sweet story. Like transferring a Burton movie into a game.”
“A really well written story. It's mostly a walking sim with commentaries and cutscenes, and some gameplay to spice it up every so often. But play it if you enjoy a story about piecing together a family tragedy and…”

“This game is genuinely amazing in how it tells its story. The storytelling style feels unique and immersive, pulling you into each character’s life in a way few games manage. The interactive puzzles are simple yet…”
“Don't be fooled by this 'walking simulator' - this is one of those games where, while walking is the main purpose of the story, there is a very strong and mysterious narrative to it. Phenomenal story-rich game, and it…”

“Gameplay is fluid, nice world to explore, great voice acting. I hated everything else. Maybe this game is meant for the tragic, emo types... it's ridiculous to hear about the insane ways your family members died and…”

“An absolute masterpiece of a game, Its such an amazing game about a tragic family , worth buying for sure.”
“I don't think it has a lot to offer gameplay wise and it's really short. Yet it has a lot of style and substance that it still felt well worth my time.”

“A haunted house story that doesn't scare but aches. i used to think that death makes a mockery of everything, but it might be the only thing that grants life its clarity. it might not hit the same nerve to you as it did…”
“good game :] walking sim but the well designed environments you walk through (and of course the story) make up for it. i would play this again and probably will in the near future. such a unique story concept i haven't…”

“The game is short, but it leaves you with a lot to think about after finishing it lingering in your memory for a long time. Each character's story is touching.Lowkey shed a tear while playing this game. Lewis's story in…”
“Wow wow wow! All I can say is don't play this on a flat screen! Generally I don't review games but this game really grew on me. Why was it never made for VR natively?? With UEVR it was such a short sentimental game.…”
“This game is short, but it’ll wreck you. You walk through a house and play through these mini-stories about how each family member died. It’s dark, creative, and honestly, everyone should play it once.”

“A melancholic but sometimes hilarious guided tour (with no way back), in a childhood dream property. Quite a no-brainer movie, with sometimes laborious interactivity. More a beautiful interactive movie, than a genuine…”
“One of the few walking simulators that genuinely deserves to be played. Fantastic presentation and an interesting, layered story. Little to no actual gameplay of course, but that's not the point here. PS. Why did the…”

“I really liked Lewis's story, it was the most interesting to me, the way he disscociated into fantasy when doing his depressive job and killed himself. The game is basically a walking simulator about the last member of…”
“worth the experience but not as good as i thought it was going to be. each little subsection of the game is like its own game and only two or three of them stuck out to me but those two or three were absolutely worth…”

“Yeah, I can see why the hype around this title. It's quite a thing of beauty in everything it does. The production value here is top-notch (aside from the excessively overused textures - I mean, there are hundreds of…”

“Please note: I played this game in 2022 and am leaving a review in 2026, I still think about this game and wish I could play it again for the first time. One of the few games I've loved enough to get 100% steam achievements on. It's very story rich and I'm usually one to…”
