This game had fantastic visuals/ color scheme, I freaking adored it! The story was short but very engaging with awesome voice acting throughout! And there was a cute doggo so it was an immediate recommendation from me!!

The diving sections are a particular highlight: the underwater environments are atmospheric and the pacing shifts nicely when you're submerged. Environmental storytelling is solid throughout: photos, objects, and spaces tell you about Lilly's history without exposition dumps. Voice acting is more uneven: sometimes it lands, sometimes it feels off. Not bad enough to break immersion, but noticeable. Chester the dog is your constant companion and essentially y…
