These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Love It or Hate It: Some have praised it, others have massively disliked it.
Scrappy Level: Very subjective, but the first bit (walking through the snow with the dog) is really rather slow. The stages after that are much faster and platformery, thankfully.
Tear Jerker: The hospital bit and the green boy's funeral are really quite sad, especially because, when the nurse tells you to sit down, you just KNOW that it's bad.
