Status : Offline | Just started this game. What on earth is that annoying song over the menu? Yeegods. I do like the atmosphere and voice acting so far (I'm deep into Oxford). But I'm not a fan of point and click, plus very often we're really far away from the heroine, rather than close behind.
Anyway, so far so good. The game is a bit lightweight, but enjoyable.

Y-you don't like Never Going Back? It's been my alarm for months...
(get used to it, it's pretty much the only melody that plays throughout the game )

Also, I don't mind the the stylized cut scenes either. They are to represent transitions, like a narrator, and I think that's well done.

Yeah the characters differed a bit from the stylized videos but I think that was a nice way of doing cut scenes.
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
