It is annoyngly slow to move her (great anim cycle, btw) but it just adds to the tension. The balcony scene on day 3 just chilled me to the bone! Impressive depth.
It held my interest for its duration.
I used to live on the seventh floor of an apartment in the 10th in Paris, and our neighbor was a strange old man. We never spoke to him, he was shy and avoided us (especially he would not look at my girlfriend). At night, usually quite late, we would hear him bellowing: he would yell in a language we couldn't understand, not angrily but more like someone very proud having an argument with God. I wonder what demons shared his apartment.
Also, I thought the music was interesting. The only people I ever saw playing that music were Rom buskers on the subway; so while it reminds us of "gay Paris", it is in some ways a very lonely song.
I agree with everyone else about the look of the game. I think this will easily be in the top 25 overall.
Great style and great atmosphere.
If there was a sixth star for "Mood" you would have gotten it. ²
Awesome.
The atmosphere is awesome.
