Here's an excerpt from Cracks Where the Light Gets In's Steam description:

As an outcast seeking sanctuary and finding it already occupied by refugees, your suspicions are raised and the conclusions you draw are founded on prejudice and supposition.

Although your upbringing has instilled a fear of being seen, to discern the truth you must move closer. You find that you can observe the family through tiny gaps in the walls and floorboards.

As you come to understand why they're here and what they need, you will gradually overturn your preconceptions and instead resolve to help them however you can.

You can't read or speak their language.

You can't communicate with them directly.

Careful observation and attention to detail will tell you what their life is like now, but as your investigation moves to their past and becomes more abstract, you'll need to think about daily life from each family member's perspective to fully unravel what led them here.

You'll watch their activities from multiple perspectives over the course of several days. As you shed light on their story, you'll find ways to help them overcome their struggles and understand how they escaped from a corrupt regime.

You'll uncover secrets even they didn't know... In turn, you'll come to learn how you fit into the world.
