Not bad. The cinematics are wayyyyyy too long, but the premise and gameplay are actually pretty fun. It made for a great podcast game where I could just zone in and out any time.

Opens with 90 minutes of weird cutscenes before the first real gameplay which turns out to be hauling your mother's corpse up a mountain to be incinerated or else it's explodes in some sort of ghostly nuke thing. Also she was the president of the united states? And there's a little fetus in a jar that guides you around? And you stumble and fall and flop the whole way because the gameplay is just keeping your balance. And it's so self-serious and grim and miserable that I get why it was hit during the pandemic but actually it sucks bad!
