It's a beautiful experience. The game took me around 4 hours to beat, great storytelling ala "Unpacking" style of interaction. The art and music were beautiful and gave me the same feeling of playing drama games like Life is Strange. I wish it ended differently but that's my own wistfulness and not a criticism of the game or devs. The game is worth the asking price of $12 for sure. Give it a try!
