The worst part is the very end where the game doesn’t even pretend to care about your choices. Kristina ran back to her friend while frantically calling her name, which isn’t my definition of cautious. In one case I had the choice to be cautious or run back to my friend.

In other places the game does the complete opposite to your decision. However, I made different decisions in two playthroughs yet still saw mostly the same cutscenes and got the same ending. Decisions are supposed to affect the story traits of denial, acceptance, and guilt, each of which are tied to a separate ending. If you run out of time while making a decision, the game will pick a choice for you. Those selections sometimes play out in new cutscenes based on your decisions, but there are moments where the game seems to ignore those choices. There are dozens of timed decisions to make throughout the game my initial playthrough clocked in at just under 200 choices. The amusing thing is he usually follows it up with “I don’t recommend you do that” and there are no prizes for guessing what we do or who we see next. He believes his distant relatives may be the reason behind the curse and is full of useful information to allow Kristina to get to the truth.

The retired doctor with little sense of patient confidentiality is one of the most interesting characters. A special mention goes to the therapist with an intimidating bedside manner, whose “office” has a drinks trolley next to the patients’ couch while the rooms are filled with distracting pop art. There’s a reverend who is far too eager to talk about ghosts and curses despite a life rooted in the Christian faith. The characters are only there to drive the plot forward, and that purpose is often at odds with their persona.

This script isn’t brilliant, although you get the sense the actors are doing the best with what they’ve been given.
