I've had this game sitting in my bookmarks for months but I finally checked it out today* and I'm so glad I did. It scratched a deeply satisfying puzzle itch that I've had since playing Her Story, but with significant QOL upgrades like the ability to take notes in-game. And I see in comments here that more are coming in the announced Steam release--fantastic!

Some of the gameplay was a little aggravating, I don't like using brute force to solve a puzzle but I ended up resorting to it a little bit towards the end. It felt like busywork to clean up the last few photos and professions for minor family members before I could advance to the final step. But overall it was a fantastic experience; the story was interesting and there were several self-contained sub-plots in different parts of the family tree.

Music and UI are smooth, giving it a pleasant ambiance. (I wish that the modem didn't screech at me every time I switch on the computer though.) The AI artwork is mildly offputting but that's being addressed in the Steam version too.

All in all it's a fantastic game, 10/10.

(*Actually make that "yesterday" because I stayed up until 4am to finish it.)
