I love the experience of radioing your co-worker day in and out, as your only piece of human interaction. This is a bit of a dream job of mine so it was nice to role-play as Henry throughout the game. The dialogue is well-written, and the way the deeper story unfolds is reminiscent of Gone Home, with elements of mystery, conspiracy, and horror that just end up being total red herrings, instead focusing on something a lot more real. Yet, I don't think it works that well here; it's less red herring to me, and more, "oh we are just kind of lying to you to make the story seem more interesting than it is". The pacing ramps up to these shocking revelations and just halts it all with a disappointing payoff. The ending is also unsatisfying and feels rushed, and overall I just feel the time spent with these characters was just a waste by the time the credits roll.

i'd rate the first half quite highly and then the second half just like, whatever.
