I just finished this. It's not a game -- all you can do is walk very slowly around a path. It might as well be on rails for all the good it does to have any control at all. You don't make any decisions -- there are no choices. Perhaps I'm a simpleton, but I found it to be incredibly pretentious. I kept waiting for something to happen, and all I got was a slow, broad walk along a trail with disjointed story fragments read to me, trying so hard to instill mystery and evoke some intrigue. It felt like a lot of bullshit, and I really wish I had my $10 back. I wish someone could help me understand the purpose of what I just "participated" in, but I know this much: I didn't just play a video game, nor did I feel satisfaction of any kind.
Perhaps find a task for yourself, go out into the public, and enjoy the good cheer of others. It's the holiday and people are usually in a pretty good mood -- maybe you can pick up some merriment out in the world which won't make you feel as alone. For you, and our other military countrymen: thank you for your service, especially from someone like me who isn't strong enough to do so myself. Merry Christmas!
