    Anyone else played it? Normally I really can't stomach interactive fiction but I gorged myself on this in two sittings. Fantastically told stor[ies] and a bit creepy in such a big house. I found the fathers story more far invoking and inviting to discover than the daughters honestly.

    Definitely recommended, although replay value is zero unfortunately.

    Yup - picked it up on release day, completed it in two hours - and *still* thought it was worth the £14 entry cost. Seriously, if you haven't played it yet, pick up a copy - it's well worth it. Game of the year so far for me. (Also, it runs natively on Linux, which is nice.)

    TWO HOURS. Bloody hell. It took me at least 5.

    Well, it might be only me and Bindi 'ere who've played it - but apparently they've surpassed 40,000 copies sold, which is bloody good going for an indie game with zero marketing budget and which can, if one was feeling unkind, be boiled down to "you wander around an empty house for a few hours."

    Seriously, though; play it. It's amazing.
