I'm a few hours in and I love it. The writing and voice acting is terrific and the game design is beautiful.

Just downed this game in an afternoon, pretty short game with an engaging trail of events and story, got me hooked from start to finish.
Beautiful color palette and breathtaking ambiance, i was easily astounded by the various shades of red and the well conceived sunsets. Definitely a game to play with everything to the max. Altough I wouldnt pay …

Beautiful color palette and breathtaking ambiance, i was easily astounded by the various shades of red and the well conceived sunsets. Definitely a game to play with everything to the max. Altough I wouldnt pay 20$ for it, I advice to wait for Steam sales.
If you like pretty aesthetic/artsy games you should definetly play this game!
KINDA SPOILERISH YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
I was a bit disappointed by the ending, I started playing knowing it wouldnt be a lovey dovie game, but when he arrived at Delilah's to an empty tower my heart broke. I was never rooting for Henry to cheat on his wife but these two had a possible good friendship here. But I guess drama sells right.
First thing I did when I arrived at her tower was look for my own but it was impossible to see a thing through all the smoke and in my opinion that has some meaning and maybe foreshadowing. In the end she could see you all the time but you couldnt even get a glimpse of her.
