It's pretty good. I like the subtle sanity mechanics and shocking plethora of individuality. Characters, I find, will very frequently reference things you have done, which was shocking for a game of this scope. It's a little strange to get your bearings at first, not helped by the very esoteric morality choices always making you feel like you've chosen the wrong one, but ultimately the gameplay loop felt very satisfying. To spoil the ending, [spoiler] I might have prefered the conclusion, with its Father Trial and Ending Dialogue to be a little more grounded, considering your character sits through literal therapy and psychiatry sessions in a mental institute, but maybe I simply didn't see the creative vision. Perhaps the ending I specifically chose--time travel--seemed more out of place because of the clashing sci-fi elements with the rest of the very grounded game, but I cannot imagine having your feet swept out from under you by the other endings would be that different. [/spoiler] To conclude, this seems like the kind of game that'll help people, and much love to Disco Elysium. It's good stuff.

A unique text based choose your own adventure game, You try to keep your delusions in check, and try to keep from gaining more. I was genuinely surprised when what I thought were small unimportant actions actually got referenced later on. 7.8/10, it does get a little confusing at some points

This was one of the most fun experiences ive had in a game in a while. I think the only thing im upset about is, its the only game Alexis Clay has produced. I cant wait to play through and try different scenarios or see what the options (if chose) kinda produce. Me and my wife plan on doing a play through and my work friends all are looking to do one as well. lots of fun. i hope you make more games like it! lots of possibility!
