I don't understand this level :( It just ends up being a very fine experience

Afterlife's art style is cute enough, but it just comes across as a plain, not very compelling experience even with a perfectly functional layout. I don't think the split paths approach succeeds at all given how disconnected they feel despite their obvious contrast, and I wouldn't even have noticed the alternate route if I hadn't read other reviews beforehand. The half-baked narrative also isn't doing anything for me.
