Desde aquellos diarios de desarrollo que veía que subían en youtube, empezar a jugar y sumergirme e investigar y leer tan atentamente sobre cada cosa que el juego decía, todo un viaje hasta llegar a esta escena de créditos. GRACIAS<3!

    *English review below. Este juego me impresionó y me dejó con una nueva perspectiva. Aunque tiene unos cuantos bugs, no arruina el juego. El diseño artístico es hermoso, muy representante del arte mexicana. La actuación es genial, casi me hacen chillar. Y más que nada, la historia te atrapa. Realmente vas encontrando huellas y destapando el misterio. Me encantó tomarle fotos a todo. Tengo que volver a jugarlo. This game impressed me and left with a new perspective.
