Steam review snapshots
I read all the cards in the hospital, and it genuinely made me tear up reading through each message people sent to…This is such a touching way to tell how a family lost their son due to cancer.This, complimented with a stellar soundtrack, some of the best sound design I've ever come across that really elevated the experience to…Why it fits
