Late to the party, but I'd say late praise is perhaps just aged (and made fine) praise. Least, that's what I claim. Truth is, I somehow just didn't know about this game until recently.
This game blew me away. As an author (5 books of fiction), I was immediately drawn to the book assets. So many books. Stacks of books. Books on books on books. I dug into the titles and was pleased to see some of my favorite authors referenced (Jorge Luis Borges, Mark Z. Danielewski). I even got the chance to talk with Ian Dallas, the Creative Director at Giant Sparrow for an episode of my podcast. It was so great being able to nerd out about books with him.
This game needs a long-form essay treatment. Perhaps a Boss Fight Books release sometime.
