I love you Husband

Pretty good sense of humor and depression.

This mod is rather good. It uses the relatively common temporal clone mechanic to solve your standard Portal puzzles. Some of the puzzles can take a second, but overall they were a bit easy. It's sort of like playing Portal 2's co-op but you get to control what both player is doing. It's a fun mod, but lacking in the more difficult puzzles.

So, I was a bit torn on recommending this game, as there are some things which really reflect a bit of a lack of polish. As such, I'll start with the technical bits of the game, as that's where it is the most lacking. I'll finish with the story, since that's the best (no spoilers).
There are bugs which cause dialogue to repeat, minor graphical glitches, and the only option in the game is changing the level of SSAA. The bugs are rediculous when they happen (but can be kinda funny. Though this does kinda defeat the purpose of the depressing atmosphere), especially at one point when a character will have subtitles that say one thing, and their voice acting doesn't fit those subtitles, nor are they in any order that makes sense. SUBTITLES ARE A MUST HAVE, THEY MAKE MUCH MORE SENSE THAN SOME OF THE RECORDED DIALOGUE. The whole game is in 800x600 resolution, but it does have the ability to render at something like 5K and downsample, so the somewhat pixelated style doesn't alias much, which is nice. Even so, it's incredibly annoying that the game is only 800x600, since that means that the aspect ratio is 4:3, resulting in interpolation on 16:9 monitors. The game also has a locked framerate of 40 FPS, which is absolutely annoying to someone who notices that sort of thing. If the screen pans while you're walking (and you're used to 60 FPS) the whole thing feels stuttery because of the low framerate. However, this game isn't supposed to be technically impressive, so that's just nitpicking.
Technical tl;dr - The game has some bugs, but they're mostly overlookable with subtitles on. The framerate is locked at 40FPS. The video settings are awful, but no one expected them to be very deep.
So now I've got the middle-child of the bad vs good. The meh gameplay. This is short, because while this game uses no cursor, it's a point-and-click adventure game. No one expects good gameplay in a point-and-click adventure. However, some animations on the protagonist are a bit jittery, and that would be in the technical portion of this review, but the game has the protagonist act as a sort of cursor, so it's more of a gameplay thing, since it's not really broken so much as it just slows down the gameplay even more in a way that just doesn't feel right. It'd be fine if she flowed slowly all the time.
And finally the story. "It's absolutely amazing" is the best I can do without spoilers, as I haven't quite finished the game yet. The atmosphere fits perfectly with the whole theme of depression so well, that I can only play the game for a short time before I have to stop for a day or two just to cheer back up, which is quite the achievement for a game. I connected with the protagonist in a way that I find rather rare in modern games.
