Interesting, I thought the game outstayed its welcome. Mainly due to its lack of gameplay and drawn out walk paths from storybit (note) to storybit (another note).

It's been awhile since I played it last, so I'd have to go back to get better insight, but I think I understand what you mean. Like at the end when

If that's what you mean, I can see where you're coming from. Tension can out stay its welcome.
The space between the notes didn't really bother me, as I recall.

Not just that moment but the entire game.

Looks like I may have to play it through again. I remember a few areas of the game that were like that, but not the game in its entirety.
I do feel that the story deserves recognition, though, even if the execution didn't convey it as effectively as it could have. But again, I should probably refresh my memory.
