This game is amazing... I didn't really know what to expect going into it, but it was so haunting and intriguing. The emptiness of the setting, the recurring themes and imagery, and all the foreshadowing and hints at what's to come, it was so fascinating to play through... The situations that both the protagonist and his mother had to endure are so painful to witness, but in a really compelling way. I felt so much sympathy for the protag's mother and the trajectory of her life, but also for him and how he never asked for any of this either...
I really love how you have woven surreal, sci-fi horror with a deeply introspective and personal type of horror, and how well the two fit together and compliment each other. This is such a masterpiece in pacing and horror, I'm really intrigued and excited to see where the story goes!
