I liked it a lot. I can see people hating it because there's not much "game" in it, even less so than Stanley Parable.. But I felt like it brought up enough interesting ideas and emotional considerations to make it worthwhile if you're in for something with a sort of introspective message. I've spent 2 hours and $10 on movies that were far worse than this and I still enjoyed, so I feel like it's money well spent. I would agree it requires a second play through if only to pay close attention to the actual words of the narration, because there is a lot of meaning hidden behind the actual phrasing. "I think this is what he was saying..." and such.

It's a thought experiment, and at the end of the day it doesn't actually matter if Coda is Davey or not. Coda could be literally anyone I agree with this. I didn't get the impression that the story was meant to be taken literally. I feel like the Davey/Coda story is a framework for posing a lot of different ideas and thoughts. There were a lot of things I think the game discusses: * The conflict between creating something for yourself vs. for an audience * Dealing with an audience that is unappreciative or misunderstanding your work * Dealing with the demands of the audience to cater to their desires * Dealing with depression or anxiety in your own way while other people are trying to tell you you're doing it wrong * Dealing with a friend who is withdrawn and depressed and trying to 'fix' them because it will make YOU feel good, and realizing that it doesn't work that way * Coming to terms with alienating a friend because you were selfish But that is my own (mis)interpretation.
