I really liked the atmosphere and the setting of the game. I could immerse myself in the scenes very well, and the overall mood worked great for me.
I also think the per-object help system was a really good idea. I personally would have appreciated an additional general help section with some of the most common verbs or interactions, especially early on.
What I found a bit unfortunate was that it seems possible to get into a softlock quite easily by missing an important item early in the game. That part was a little frustrating for me.
Aside from that, I think this is a really good game overall.
Quick question: am I stuck if I forgot to pick up the rope near the beginning and already reached the West Bank? I can’t seem to find a way forward anymore and I’m wondering if I missed something, or if I would need to restart.
yes, you are stuck without the rope.
