Ironically, very forgettable..

This is a 45 minutes long walking simulator styled adventure game where you play as a woman with dementia, alone in your house searching for your husband. The gameplay consists of you interacting with items, hearing narration behind the items as you go through the little memory you do have left, until you’ve seen enough to progress the story. Sadly, the experience was pretty forgettable despite its great concept.

The ending I saw coming from a mile away, the voice acting didn’t feel genuine, and the overall pacing was so slow that I couldn't wait for these 45 minutes to be over which is crazy to say. 45 minutes is such a short time but it felt like 2 hours. I wish this concept was expanded upon. I wish the story telling and vocal delivery was more impactful, to make me really feel the grand reveal, but sadly It wasn’t.
