This game had such good writing I found myself wondering about consequences only to have to remind myself that one or more characters are going to die at some point.
I also just love games that break the fourth wall, so this game was great.

I have never sensed a greater dread than when I looked over and saw Opila riding the seats.
That being said, I cannot give this game 5 stars for a few reasons.
1) The drone was very hard to maneuver. For some of the buttons, I had to try several times before the drone was able to hit the middle of it instead of the top or bottom.
2) The game could be greater improved if button's made a noise when you could activate it. I was stuck on the ball pit puzzle for a long time because I hadn't noticed that the button activates after Opila leaves the platform.
3) Two of buttons (one in the playground and one under a desk) were so hidden that I had to look up where to find them. They are both in very dark corners. This wouldn't be a problem if they were for easter eggs, but they both are crucial to advance the game.
Overall though, this was a fun game to play. I'm sure the sequel fleshes out the story even more.
