A fun, relatively light puzzle-exploration game with Lovecraftian elements that takes inspiration from the pulp fiction and weird tales of the 1920s and 1930s. It inverts established Lovecraft tropes in a very fun way, touching on the less-used themes of chronic and terminal illness and marriage. Many of the game's world spaces and set pieces were genuinely very pretty and exciting to look at and traverse; the art direction, sound design/soundtrack, and the mystery/romance plot make the game a fun play through to the end.

A truly painful walking pace and no option to toggle sprint, meaning you will be holding down W+Shift (or Trigger+Joystick on a controller) for much of the game, which is a bit irritating. You can't pull a sneaky and bind forward and "run" (brisk walk) to the same button.

However, the puzzles are good, the storytelling is excellent and the voice acting is truly top-class. I only complained about the walking because some puzzles can involve doing a *ton* of walking while you're working through them.

A little on the shorter side, about 5 hours of content, but it's got interesting puzzles, good graphics, memorable locations, and a captivating story. I never felt like the game was holding my hand, but I also never felt completely lost on what to do, so very good level design.
