This is not your typical game. If you are looking for action or anything more than simply exploring a house and listening to a very personal story, then I suggest you do not buy this game.

This is about a 90 minute romp through a pretty exansive mansion where you find clues as to what is going on in your family's life after being away from them for some time. It is mostly about your younger sister and he coming of age and is read to you through an almost diary like system as you progress. I thought that it was fun, interesting and at times, touching.

That being said, it is short and has very limited replayability. If you find this on sale and like story-driven games and punk rock, I would highly recommend this game.

If you think this game is going to be as good as the first, dramatically lower your expectations.

The gameplay is decent, controls are fine except for the horible climbing, but the story has almost nothing to do with the first one. You kinda just run around as Death doing odd jobs for everyone and somehow this saves your brother. I completely lost interest about 70% through the game, but I trudged on, for some reason and beat it. Don't waste your time.

I got this on sale and regret buying it. I even got goaded into buying the season pass because it was cheap too and I really liked the first game. The pass didn't even include all of the DLC... Who does that? I'm not talking about the items, I'm talking about a full additional dungeon. Not that I wanted to play it, because the other DLC was pretty terrible as well, but it's the principle of the thing.
