Status : Offline | I absolutely hated the timed sequences >, especially the seatbelt thing (I had to find a saved game to get by that one). The rest of the game was kind of wierd (what's with all the sophomoric up-skirt stuff??). But the story kept me interested enough to finish the game. I did like the different perspectives of the same locations as the days progressed.

It started up strong, the character graphics are great, and the plot is quite intriguing.
The minigames & timed sequences are also a plus for me.
The boring stuff is to going back to the island, have to pick up STICKS AND STONES (to solve a generic puzzle, generally opening the tower door) & then the nightmares and then STICKS & STONES and solve the bell tower puzzle, nightmare, then STICKS AND STONES (oh and maybe some dry grass) and so on.
I disagree with the timed puzzles being bad, it makes sense that you had to avoid losing time doing useless things (like drinking the beer bottle in the van).

Status : Offline | I've just started it, and so far am quite taken. I've successfully completed the first timed sequence after 2 attempts (1st time trying to work out what to do, 2nd time realising those were actually holes) which was a relief.
The dialogues are pretty bizarre though and the subtitles don't always match the spoken words. And some of the characters are just totally nuts- what is it with Maria??
I can see how the sticks and stones gathering would get annoying but am giving it a go for the time being. Most annoying is how slow the game is- ironic cos I just completed Black Mirror!
