I loved this game; it stuck with me a long time after I played it. The world is so interesting and bizarre! If you like ominous vibes and unhinged settings, take a chance on this title.

A very interesting game. its short, far from sweet, but no less enjoyable for it. It'll leave you with a good few questions and a desire to see more, all for the price of free ninety nine. If you like the depressive, the spooky, and the littlest bit kooky, you need to give it a try. (just be sure to save often.)

👍 wanna elaborate: I liked the game, and I mean, it is free, but I think that it's too short to achieve anything meaningful [spoiler]the game doesn't seem to be advocating for anything specific (I thought it was gonna be an anti-antinatalist, life is worth living ordeal), and while the main character is very optimistic... there are also notes and things that happen that fall squarely into antinatalist territory. [/spoiler] [spoiler]I think the basics here are great (even though I don't really like when the explanation for the crazy world is that it's manufactured by an evil organization), but as mentioned above, the game is too short to be able to achieve the "it's up to you" or "life is simply too complex" thing, so it feels very... if you burn half of a steak into a crisp, and then freeze the other one, it's not gonna magically turn into the perfect steak... ya know?[/spoiler]
