A fine take on a sort of LiS/Gone Home style storytelling - definitely not as good as either, but I do appreciate the attempt
I enjoyed piecing together the timeline and the story is good at making you introspective. It really drives home that good people can make bad decisions. It's not the greatest game but given that it's free and really short, it could be worth your while. The atmosphere is also great.
Well, it is a very beautiful game. But that about it really. Thankfully I was able to play with my controller. It is a quick paced game.
But the story? Eh, not really a story. I do like a game to leave me "wondering" about a few things here and there. But the ending. Is like ??? Not really enough facts to back the other facts. Lots of wormholes left everywhere. Leave you with the feelings and words: what who where why? I didn't ask to be Sherlock Holmes. <_<
But it was free, quick, and very beautiful.
Marie's Room is ok. You walk around a room trying to find objects you can interact with to discover what happened. It's no Gone Home or Dear Esther, but it's free and only takes ~40 minutes to complete. Some objects require you to be right next to them before you get an activation prompt and new entries aren't indicated in the diary. But it's fine, i guess.
A reasonable way to spend 45 minutes. Not the best walking or snooping simulator, but not the worst. The story and acting are a little off, but at under an hour and for the low low price of "free," you could do worse.
