Been on my wishlist for a while but I hesitated until sale. Actually turned out insanely unusual and interesting. The day I played this game, I tried 3 others before this one, and ended up refunding them except for this one. It looks very amateur and strange, but it was well worth a try and I will finish it, as I didn't finish yet. Kinda sad that it looks this amateur and confusing from trailers and screenshots, and had seemingly zero posts or advertisement of any kind, thus the 0 reviews that were on this game for about 2 months before I made this one, this game definitely deserved more attention.
