Players appreciate the game's creative concept of discovering the correct sequence through trial and error, along with its distinctive pixel art style and varied death animations. However, they consistently criticize the repetitive gameplay loop, apparent reliance on random chance rather than skill, technical bugs, poor English translation, and short content that becomes tedious rather than engaging after multiple playthroughs.
Interesting game idea that is ruined by poor execution. | 🌕🌗🌑🌑🌑 1.5/5 The general idea behind the game is find the correct sequence of events to get the true ending. You'll do this by interacting with the various objects in your room or apps on your computer. However, expect to fail repeatedly and redo the same events over and over until you get there. This means you'll die... and die a lot. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as the game has a a number of unique deaths which keeps it somewhat interesting. Unfortunately, the game is short and limited so you'll soon get quickly bored seeing the same small amount of content it offers. While there is a definitive direction for the game, the outcome unfortunately feels like its mostly decided by random chance. Add to the fact the game is incredibly buggy doesn't help matters either. For example, endings that overlap and unwarranted spawn deaths in the included mini game. The game is bare bones also with no settings or even an option to quit the game. All of which results in frustrating game play and just cheapens the whole experience. Pity as all of these could have easily been ironed out if a little more time was spent on polis…4 found this helpful

I remember seeing a few youtubers play this back in the day. I love the art style. Wish it wasn't so buggy and that the english was better1 found this helpful
Giving this game a negative review until the developer fixes the "Illuminati" achievement.1 found this helpful
Since it already has a review score of mixed, I'm going to mark this as recommended, but this game is not particularly fun. I liked the pixel art and all the ways to die. At first it's spooky, but after a few tries it just becomes annoying trying to complete it -- maybe it's meant to mimic the unending hell the protagonist is stuck in? I don't know. All I can say is it's unforgiving, possibly buggy, and I still haven't made it out of the house. Even if you do everything you're supposed to, the game can turn around and kill you anyway.
虽然没有看起来那么好玩，但就和看起来一样贵。
