This game is just so charming, thought-inducing and heart-wrenching.
Anyone else feel this way, or am I just PMSing again?

I liked it, too. It's not really a game, though, more of an interactive story with a handful of simple puzzles strewn in. I didn't like the conclusion of the story so much, though.

This is exactly what bothers me most about this game and a bunch of others too. They could just present it as an animation movie or an interactive novel or something instead of blatanly calling it a game when there is practically almost nothing you do in it.

Well...hmmm. I don't think it would be as good if it was simply a movie. But yeah, maybe they should call it "interactive animated story" or something.

I called The Walking Dead a "Cinematic Adventure".

It was more of an interactive cinematic, but it still kept my mind engrossed. I love the ethical debate of whether changing these peoples' memories is morally sound or even necessary. (Then again I also enjoy the post-human and dualism philosophies showcased in stories like Ghost in the Shell, Deus Ex, Remember Me, etc.)
