The focus of the game is the main character traversing her old home and learning about the lives of her family. The player ends up controlling an aspect of each of these family members, and there are a couple in particular which are legitimately amazing. I loved learning the story of each member and the family in general.

I loved the chemistry between Chloe and Nadine, the two main characters in the game, and the inclusion of two women as main characters is a breath of fresh air.
