(spoilers) "I've got two bad knees and a mean left hook!" The dialogue in this game... I found myself chuckling quite a few times, and the setup and payoff with the truck at the end - something like 'he won't be getting it back, but it's gone to a good cause', and the wide shot. Just... perfect.
The theme of not wanting to leave your home is so nicely wound in the story, with the revelation of the cause of the quakes/deaths at the end tying it back to that. And the emphasis at the end on people, not buildings, and how there were people that the town forgot... I found it to be really nice storytelling.
It was a bit of a slow start; I don't usually play games with that pace but I hope people play to the end because it was so rewarding. The scene with the first dead body is where I quite suddenly felt the danger escalate. I really like the artwork, the backgrounds look so good and really help to tell the story of the lower levels of town vs the top. The character designs are charming and pop out of the background. The cutscenes were also awesome (love the monster's design <3 ).
