I really liked a lot of things about this game. The art is beautiful, the fun whiplash of magical whimsy to straight horror can be very fun. The character designs are fun and memorable. The story has some amazing themes of trauma, loss, grief, self acceptance, and feminism being a strength and not a weakness. Watching cutscenes was always fun because the hand drawn animation was so fun to behold, even when scary things were happening.

That being said, some of the puzzles required lots of backtracking that wasn't the most fun.... A couple of puzzles were not very intuitive and required lots of trial and error... and one area had me have to change the color balance settings on my monitor because you had to hide from a bad guy's light source but I literally COULD NOT SEE IT on my monitor. Some parts of gameplay had buggy triggers where cutscenes wouldn't play, or my character wouldn't go up stairs when she was supposed to. Due to these issues, parts of the game felt like they were rush jobs on the development side. Since it is an indie game, I tried not to complain about it too much... but for a $30 game, simple triggers being broken was a bit frustrating.

Please keep in mind as well that this is a single player story game with no replay value. Your character abilities are not particularly robust and there is no NG+ or secret endings to find. If you buy this game at full price you are paying for ONE 8-9 hour play through of a story that (while good) doesn't entice you to come back for more. If you pick this game up instead of watching a lets play, I suggest to buy it on sale.
