What you’ll learn through this “slice of life” discussion on the way home is interesting, and all of the dialogue feels very real, but at the same time much of it feels like only a tease. That is, no doubt, the hook to have you play again and try different options to tease out more information. But, overall the runtime is only enough for you to get initially invested in the characters but then it is over before you have the chance to explore too much, which is a shame. In theory the Extended Edition’s Epilogue would help with this but it’s presence also messes with the proper game’s ending and I didn’t feel like it gave me more answers in line with what I wanted. My apologies for the vagueness around the title but if you have an interest in exploring characters and seeing life through a different lens than your own you’re better off walking in knowing as little as possible. The dialogue in the game is well-crafted, and each family member really feels like a living and breathing person, making the experience all the more compelling. That said, it is really an interactive story of sorts that you’ll only be able to kick around for a few hours before you’ve exhausted it. If you enjoy this sort of experience it is worthwhile but among its competitors in the same space on the Switch I’d say there’s also better available overall.
