Excellent game. It tries to do a bit too much. As for other players, my first steps are the most memorable. But, it remains at least good througouht the game. I can't tell you more, there would be unforgivable spoilers. Which is a good sign of what this game has to offer.

The deck building aspect is super smart. It starts very simple and gains complexity based on basic mechanics. It never gets too complex and renews itself from time to time. (not too complex but there is room for epic clutch moments when you think for 5 minutes before finding the right move. so satisfying)

The atmospheric aspect is top notch and worked well on me. It's full of mysteries as well but does not enforce the player to solve difficult ARGs to better understand the game, while keeping rewards for the more curious.

In the end, I would say that the final steps are a bit underwhelming compared to the outsanding start to middle of the game. I'm thinking that it may have been better to decomplexify the (unfolding) plot not to leave players on the feeling of a not so satisfying ending.

But yeah it's a classic. Truly a game that pushes the videogame genre forward. In a good way, not just random experiments.
I wish there was a controller option on the PC version for my old man to try...
