Interesting Story - not what I expected actually. Relatively expensive for a 2 hours experience tho

If you are reading this review, I suspect that you are having the same reaction as me: that you bought and played this game, finished it in two hours and wondered that since that was it, are others going to grump about it being a game.
Game mechanics worked very well for what was intended: to tell a story. I did flip on every light switch so it is not so dark, and I did try to read everything. The story telling was excellent, you really do discover the family from a distant as a lot needs to be inferred in the beginning. Yet at the same time you hear the narration of Sam's diary from her own words. That makes the story seem strangely close.
For those that hasn't played, I don't want to spoil the story but it's like spending $20 to experience a well-told movie. It might be okay for some, and some may not be okay with spending $20 for a "game" that lasts only for 2 hours.
I am completely satisfied with the experience - going in knowing that it is a short story may give you the right expectations
