Who this suits
Players who value atmospheric storytelling and environmental narrative over traditional gameplay mechanics will appreciate this title. It suits those seeking a contemplative, first-person journey centred on themes of love, loss and redemption. Buyers who want action sequences, puzzles, multiplayer modes or conventional objectives should look elsewhere, as the design abandons traditional gameplay entirely.
