GOOD BONES On the one hand: an interesting story setup in a mother-daughter relationship and the grieving process. On the other hand: puzzles that require you to click the environment in PRECISELY the correct order to continue. Some wiggle room for non-sequential puzzle solving would have been nice. Also, the climax involves a scavenger hunt where you can't pick up the items you find until you get the box to put those them in, only the SPECIFIC box you need is the most difficult thing to find! And some of those items are in places that you checked already, but they only appear AFTER you get the box. WHY
Also also, the final message about accepting your circumstances and moving on from your grief is good and great but. Hey. Hey that character got murdered and their murder was covered up in an accident and you found the murder weapon and the murderer is still out there and they may know that you know and we're asked to MOVE ON? WHAT
The more I think about this game, the more unsatisfied I feel. The unfortunate message that "if you are a victim of domestic violence, the best you can hope for is to have the suspicious circumstances of your death be unremarked upon" is not particularly great. Really bad aftertaste. Still 100%d tho

comment:
Some items took me too long to find (my own fault), the hint function was extremely vague (noticeable more when stuck on finding a specific item) but not a bad read for a VN more on the simple side.
