I like the game, and I'd recommend it for specific reasons, to specific types of players. Despite the somewhat older graphics, there are some areas that are just gorgeous--the artists' emphasis on light and the way it bathes your field of view is fantastic, and when paired with a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack--well, it's one of few games where I've taken a moment to just stop and enjoy the view. Mostly, it's a puzzle game. I found the puzzles very straightforward, complex enough to keep me interested for the time it took to solve them, and easy enough that I never got bored or frustrated. The story is interesting and somewhat sad, but too ambiguous to feel depressing. It's told entirely through moving pictures of (intentionally) crudely drawn two-dimensional figures, and you try to piece together what happened based on context and body-language. It's a novel approach, and one which works well for a story that's not too complex. In fact, there's no dialogue and no writing in the game ...
