Story and characters

I would say Valley is an excellent starter game for anyone who likes good story but doesn't want to be overwhelmed by heavier duty games that might have too many choices.

Gameplay

Doesn't appear to be much replayability, but it's definitely got some good mechanics that are pretty unique, and it's well crafted for what it is.
