Cute and Nice
After hearing an inordinate amount of gush for this game from many different sources; I picked this game up to see it for myself.
First off, this "game" is extremely short, I played through it twice, played the develop commentary and played Gravity Bone which comes packed in with the game; all this took less than an hour, I knew coming in to expect a short experience, but I was still taken by surprise by just how incredibly short it is.
Gameplay; none to speak of, this is pure story, again, most people will go into this game knowing this and on it's own, not really a problem, but when you combine this with how incredibly short the story is, I don't think it really holds up.
Really the only thing this game has going for it is style, and it has that in spades; this game is pure style, the graphics, the story, the music, the cuts, all contribute to a make a fairly interesting experience.
Bugs; I didn't have any while playing the game, but the developer commentary crashed twice on me.
For a game that hangs it's hat on story, I don't think there is enough here; this game really feels like it should be part of a trilogy; it's almost like watching Pulp Fiction True Romance with every other scene being cut out. It's obvious that this was done on purpose to make you think about what is going on, but there just wasn't enough there for me to care.
