    I'm conflicted about Quintus and the Absent Truth. I think the visuals are really worth seeing but the plot left me cold and there are some weak performances from the voice cast. In contrast, the musical composition works really well and the framing of the Quintus segments fits neatly with the rest of the package. The 'making of' features add a little something extra but the question of value will always hover around a game so short.

    At the end of the game, I really felt like there could’ve been a lot more Quintus and the Absent Truth. The acting felt flat, the themes weren’t as fleshed out as they should’ve been, and the only truly scary thing here is how short the whole experience was. I really wanted to see this succeed, as the art style brought some unique potential, but sadly the experience needs a lot more refinement to be as interesting in execution as it was in its premise.
