This was really similar to the first game. You play as the same (I think) two doctors who delve into a dying person's memories to fulfill a wish. You overhear conversations, find mementos, and use the mementos to link and travel between memories. At the end of each memory, there is a simple "match three" puzzle to progress.
The story didn't make me feel as much as the first one, at least not until the end when you come to empathize with the antagonist and see the dying patient and his life in a new way. There's a clever twist. The story strings you along thinking one thing, which would have been a good story anyway, but then changes something so you see everything differently.
The two doctors banter back and forth, and the game's dialogue is well written and light-hearted. It's often funny, but just as often cheesy. The one thing I realized though is that most of the characters possess the same sense of humor, which makes them all feel one-dimensional and unbelievable.
So, this was an interesting, thoughtful game, not as impressive as the first, though perhaps if I'd played the middle one I would think differently. The hype train was also missing on this one. To the Moon I recall was lauded, but this one, I heard almost nothing. If there's another afterward, I'll be less excited.
