It felt fitting to play this on Father's day. I loved the eery, uneasy tone of this game--the music and cracked screen effects raise the tension to the next level. I really felt the same confusion and horror of the narrator as the scene repeated itself in unpredictable ways and he fell deeper and deeper into the time/space loop. Even though there are limited selection options and endings in this game, each scene feels fresh because of the new visual/textual clues. On another note, I wish more dads were able to come to the realizations the narrator did (albeit through supernatural means) and tried to make amends.

Realization that the man in the story needs to come to: there are anti-male developers who want to paint men as the villains when in their very stories the father is sympathetic character who tries to do what's right while his daughter is snooty and angry for no reason.
The game serves as a giant apologia for father-hate and man-hate. "Oh I'm not angry at men in my family because I'm a bad person, I'm angry at them because THEY'RE a bad person" that's not how it works jack. Anger is the emotion of the bully, not the victim. Stop with the garbage, and the anti-male subtext.
