As stupid as it may sound, these kinds of games are exactly why I play games. I treat them more as experiences than something you play from start to finish. And this game did definitely deliver an experience.
There's a lot left to perception by the player about what the story really is about, as it's possible the desert itself could be treated as symbolism instead of it actually being a physical desert. The cactuses could be people, perhaps. What is beautiful is that it doesn't tell you if what you're seeing is true or not.
The walk and the "quest" perhaps being easier to explain. It's unknown if it's a child sent to retrieve alcohol or if it's perhaps a loved one. But the atmosphere would definitely lend off a vibe that makes abuse a possible cause.
Chances are I'm looking too much into it.
The game could definitely be improved in a couple ways to perhaps make it more spooky than surreal, like having fitting setpieces, but I'm sure it's surreal on purpose.
