CGiii Comment

Shortly after the death of his wife, a father of four retreats into bed and into mourning until the house is left to self-manage. The older children think about how to pull him out of this stupor; the eldest begins by mimicking their mother's voice. Soon, the game spirals out of control, just like each of their identities.
