my father's long, long legs

This story relies on the "nothing is scarier" school of thought, and it pulls it off really well. You play the story as an outsider, not knowing your Father's intent for the digging he's been doing for years on end. But you do know the feelings of unease it's caused you, the fact that it made him drift away your mother, and your brother's sentimentality. It's an intriguing story where you do always feel compelled to learn what's going on, and every few scenes introduces a new bit of information that makes you think. I'm not entirely sure what the whole thing was about, but it left me feeling legitimately shaken by the end of it. Definitely worth the hype.
