Had my eye on this one alongside Agony but it seems I'll be skipping both. I have something against walking sims in general, as they're just so damned boring. Point and click adventure games with no adventure and are just glorified graphic novels but with botched stealth/flee mechanics shoved in there to actually make it a 'game'. Seems none of these types of things can really figure out what they want to be.

Yeah, the sub-genre is still kind of young, but too many games retread concepts that didn't work the first time (without improving upon them) or just copy-paste other games. Sometimes they're more narrative-heavy and not so interactive, but other times they throw out puzzles or something like that. It's rare to find one that nails fleeing, and even fewer seem to know how to handle stealth.
