What a lovely little experience. I haven't played multiple times to experiment with different endings and such (I'm sure something happens if you let the second character break the glass...), but in general it left me with a sense of... peace. Like the calm before the storm, indeed.
I was expecting to see the actual "storm" at some point, and that took me by surprise when it didn't happen, but then it hit me: this is a moment frozen in time, a little chance to capture an interaction in the middle of a crisis, and to see how two people find their lingering hope together.
Loved it, in all its graceful simplicity.
