This game is definitely worth playing. While the gameplay isn't anything to write home about, the atmosphere, story, and just the overall vibe are very good. It was grim and dark, but it wasn't gruesome or excessively violent. A playthrough only takes 30-45 minutes, and it was not a difficult game, it's really more of an experience than an actual game. A horror walking simulator about the world's two (three?) biggest jerks. If you like old-timey spooky scares, and have a bit of free time, you should check this game out.
