Not good. The controls and puzzles are unintuitive, overabstracted, and oversimplified, particularly if you're not using a touchscreen. Movement is lethargic and the environments, while evocative at first, become tedious and dull when you're forced to tread through them for the Nth time. Session III is particularly egregious in its repetition. Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is known for being a short game, and it still feels drawn out.

The story tries to make up for the lack of gameplay depth, and it finds some success in its Lovecraftian handling of the unknowable (which Below expanded on expertly), but I disliked the casual writing style and the underutilization of being able to read characters' thoughts.

The music is good though!
