The game has its flaws, no doubt, but none of them took away my interest in it, so I am not pointing fingers at them, there are for sure reviews out there who do. All I want to say is that it is not a "choose your own adventure" because it is a linear game and choices are minimal. In the end everyone plays the same story and that's fine, but the tag is misleading.

Yes, it ends ends with a bang that I had a bit of foresight, or rather fursight for, and it is anticlimactic because it is funny or rather furry, but it is after the real ending. It would have made more sense to put it after the credits to make it clearer and to let the real/serious ending linger a bit longer.

I like the parts where you play the kids, I found all the characters interesting and for a game that touches on mental health issues it did a better job than most games. It also showed a sense of humor and humanity that I dig.

It also captured a bit of the Hitchcock Vertigo feeling, more than I expected, but of course there was no real comparison for that classic and master of suspense.

All in all, well worth my time and money. Only 4 stars because it is not a game I am going to replay for the missing 5 achievements. There is no replayability in my eyes. I rarely give 5 stars to a game I do not plan on coming back to or did already play multiple times.

Please game developers, if you can spare the time and effort to tell me after I start your game "this game is best played with a controller", why not put that one sentence on the PC store page too? It's vital information for your customers, and 99% will buy it anyway, and the 1% that turn away will be …

Please game developers, if you can spare the time and effort to tell me after I start your game "this game is best played with a controller", why not put that one sentence on the PC store page too? It's vital information for your customers, and 99% will buy it anyway, and the 1% that turn away will be furious because they don't have a controller and get a refund, or pissed off because they have to find theirs like I had to. It was in the last box I opened of course, last used 2 years ago I think... After having played a bit, it makes sense to play this with a controller seeing the use of vibration you have made and other nice ideas that depend on the device, but just tell me up front and not jump the message on me after I have started the game, PLEASE!

Also I need to clean on top of my wardrobe, dust mice built a city up there.
