AVEE'S PROFILE

Story: 5/5
The many diverse and short moments I spent with the children were effective to build attachment. There are a few odd details in the scenes that made me wonder if the events and characters weren’t symbolical of something else, and I think that was nicely done.
The post-credit testimony is like a “bonus content” explanation of what the game is really about, and in the end, despite the horrible events that I had played, the game left me with a feeling of empathy.
A very personal, creative and touching project.

Gameplay: 3/5
The difficulty started high and ended low, which I think is a misstep. The first chase is brutally difficult and I died about 10 times, which broke the flow of the game a bit.
The first QTE is also the most difficult of the two due to the short time limit. I finished the second QTE with 10 seconds to spare, and the second chase was easier now that I was familiar with the house’s layout and accustomed to the running speed.
Since the trials became progressively easier, it did give me some hope that I could save the last victims, so maybe that’s a positive result depending on what your intention was regarding the gameplay.

Overall: 8/10
In one word: Feels ;_;
