Baby Steps (Gaming)

I'm surprised I haven't seen anything posted here, given how much people were talking about Getting Over It. Anyone been playing? Please no spoilers, I'm not finished yet! :) I will say that I just finished picking a fruit.

If anyone's not familiar, it's... a literal walking simulator. You move the legs with controller triggers and lean with left stick, and there's almost no other controls except a very rare "use" button and a camera control i pretty much never use.

I'm not usually a seeker of difficult games, and I have no real awareness of the dev's previous work outside of the Getting Over It discussions I read here. And, until very recently, I didn't have a PC anywhere near up to speed for gaming so this one's kind of an oddball for me, but I saw this video when the demo came out and it was so funny that I had to try it myself:

I don't know how to explain it, but it's just one of the best written, most charming, sometimes shocking (be wary of the nudity setting unless you have no children or innocent adults around), weird, wonderful experiences in recent memory. A lot of the time it's not THAT hard, but sometimes it really is. I'm not actually sure whether I'll manage to finish it since I've stayed spoiler free and don't know how much harder it will get, but I soldier on.

I might post some screenshots of where I've been with spoiler tags in the subject, if there's any interest in the game.
