you didnt disappoint as usual! howard’s a real one who fits the cutie patootie term the best, all ends were heartwarming in their own way though either the two or three were the true, happy ones with him;) liked the little addition of in-game warnings, preference, credits roll,achievements and the cgs too! edit: forgot about this but i think the minus was that, can be kinda confusing to know which ones meant to be flashback at times they were thrown abruptly especially when in the middle of navigating the objects or in the attic, like oh i thought this was still in the present when Howard disappeared etc.
The flashbacks threw me off at first too, but I'm pretty sure all of them are memories, triggered when the mc is investigating. There's a line before you start investigating about remembering more, but I think something even clearer would be helpful. The non-linear format is interesting and works well here. I only wish I had gotten the hint sooner that's what was going on. :)
