it's a good game, but its pretty buggy. I had a really hard time with the last few chapters. I didn't even get to finish the final chapter because it kept crashing. I don't have this issue with any other games (even large / resource intensive ones). Still, it was fun and I think the early chapters are worth the recommend on their own.

Игра красивая, местами увлекательная, но чересчур затянутая, и с довольно бессодержательным сюжетом. Ну или я просто не смогла в должной мере оценить глубину переживаний будущего папаши, который хочет ловить рыбу и деградировать на необитаемом острове, а вместо этого вынужден содержать семью и решать бытовые проблемы. Не знаю, по мне так банальным инфантилизмом попахивает, я не прониклась.

The writing in this game is so elite. What I thought at first was just a fun and creatively designed little game turned out to be way more. I loved it
