?? Movie Theater

A story-focused walking sim with a pretty interesting story and some horror, mostly in the first half. Nice visuals, not bad writing, somewhat lacking music; a generally fun, atmospheric and emotional experience. [spoiler]Objectively:[/spoiler] 8/10

Thank you for playing (reading)!!! I hate long dialogues and monologues in games, but I'll give it a positive rating for the plot and the work put in... But I won't go through the horror of playing it again and reading all the dialogues. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEWUKM0t674
