The game was enjoyable for a short duration. If you ignore the fact that the storyline is basically trying to portray paedophilia as misunderstood love, underage grooming as being understanding and somehow twist a case of child molestation into a tragic love story. Dialogues throughout the game, repeatedly paints the paedophile, one of the main protagonist, in a mostly positive manner with little to no condemnation, even when truth starts to unravel. If anything, the game tries to romanticise his actions. The storyline even suggested that those around him are the "villains", the ones to blame for not understanding "true love" between a 50 year old man and a 16 year old school girl. If there ever was a game that attempts to justify and romanticise paedophilia and child grooming, this is it. Not sure if the dev did this intentionally for shock value or something else, either way it failed miserably and made a mediocre walking sim almost unbearable. Paedophilia glorifying aspects aside, the overall graphics, atmosphere and game play is not the worse, although the plot ending didn't make much sense and offers no satisfaction upon completion. I would rate this game 4/10 if not for the sickening narrative.
