The less you know about this game before playing it, the better. And yes, you can play it just fine without a web camera.

There comes a time when a game just pulls you in, out of nowhere and you decide to try it. While this is a short 90 min game, It's the first time in a long time where I genuinely wept and was audible. The entire story is beautifully put together and you really just want to sit there and let the entire scene play out, but once you get half way through the constant twist and turns really hit you and you just keep on crying and crying to the point where you can't even breathe anymore. It's been so long since I felt this way and to say this game made me realise something about myself or my life in an understatement, the only issue I had was the whole "blinking" mechanic wasn't good and I just gave up blinking to progress because I wanted to experience the whole story and I did that after I changed to "click" instead of "blink" Whoever reads this, please buy and play this game, cry and then maybe you might change something about your life for the better, for the devs who made this game, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this, thank you for the masterful writing and making me feel the emotions I havn't felt for a long time playing.

I almost never cry with movies, and very rarely with games or music. I actually have a hard time physically crying in general. This one made me cry. The story is so good. I guess I'll replay it without the blinking feature so I can actually read everything, unfortunately I couldn't keep my eyes open for long enough in some parts haha.

A beautiful and heartbreaking story. I cried so much... it felt so real, so close. The real masterpice during the whole story is the game itself. I wish I could erase my memory to play again for the first time.
