Not my type of game

I'm going to come out and say this right now; this game is a walking simulator. The entire objective of this game is to wander around an empty house for an hour looking for journal entries, just so you can be spoonfed some semblance of a plot by subpar voice acting. There is no replay value whatsoever aside from speed running ( and maybe that's for the best ). Even the big plot reveal at the end left me angry that I wasted my time playing a game where nothing happens. After reading about all the awards and glowing reviews this game got, I saw it as an opportunity to check it out myself. I just don't understand how this game could have been so well-received. I'm giving this 2 stars only because I appreciate that the developers were passionate about it, even if the game didn't turn out to be all that great.
