One of the dullest and most tedious attempts at the Telltale/Life is Strange/etc. style of cinematic narrative game I've ever played. A fair bit of technical/budgetary jank (subpar optimization, uneven voice acting, animation issues), but most importantly, it's just incredibly boring; a couple hours in, a compelling hook for the story has yet to emerge, and nearly every scene drags on significantly longer than it should, especially in the many stretches without any player input.

By some accounts, the story does pick up further in, but if HowLongToBeat et al. are to be believed, I'm less than a quarter of the way through at a bit over the two-hour mark, and I have better things to do with my gaming time than slog through this hoping it actually becomes engaging at some point.

And no idea what this has to do with the classic Hitchcock movie (one of his best, I just rewatched it recently) aside from the main character's vertigo being a plot point, but honestly, that's the least of this game's problems.
