    Well, if you finished after 30 minutes, there is definitely more to it.

    Well for millions of young teens across the world there is nothing more scary then accepting their sexuality. Some may say that marital issues are also scary. Not to mention molestation.

    But i guess to actually answer your question no it is not really a horror game, although there are some mildly scary parts.

    If you don't understand what happened then yes there is more to learn. However you did reach the end of the game as intended.

    It's a horror game if you think about how people consider it a good game.

    I really really really really hate how people have been pussyfooting around this.

    NO. IT ISN'T.

    Is that so goddamn hard? Part of the reason there has been some backlash against this is because nobody wants to "spoil" the fact that it isn't what a lot of people wanted it to be. *SPOILERS* It's a game about a family dealing with common things in life and it's told in a really creative unconventional way. It's like a warm indie film of a game, and it's overpriced.
