This game really caught me and my wife by surprise. We honestly had no idea what it was about going into it. No trailers, no description just started it up and wow. (to be clear: we got it as part of a pack of games)

The game is really deep (emotionally) and THE MUSIC, it is outstanding.
The gameplay is super simple although my wife struggled and it was entertaining (gameplay of first 2 levels: youtube.com/watch?v=POxRx3WK5X4

Honestly, we enjoyed the game, my wife is a newer gamer and I basically did backseat gaming with her. The story is about death, and grieving and coming to terms with loss. It's emotional and it's so satisfying for anyone in a relationship because we hear the thoughts from the wife's perspective later on and we were again surprised and excited by that.

If you like your feelings to be jerked and you like to get deep into a story without alot of hard gameplay you should try this game.

Note: The content of this game is probably about 2-4 hours long. So it is a short game, in my opinion, but still profound.
