The concept of this game is amazing, but the the bugs make it unplayable. I have 8.9 hours in the game. I must have started the game 4 or 5 times over the course of a couple years. Every time, I tried to avoid the bugs. And I failed. I want to play this so badly. I'm considering watching a YouTube let's play of this instead of playing it. It looks like someone made it to the end of the game somehow.

Well, I did enjoy the first three and a half hours of this game... until I got into a gamebreaking bug where I can not advance no matter what I do. And the fact that there is only one save means you would have to restart the game all the way over again and hope you don't run into the same bug and.... yeah. Just not worth it at this point. Oh well. C'est la vie.

I started playing this game knowing what I was getting because I have it for the Nintendo switch and it's worse on there than on PC. The developers had idea for the game butttt this game is extremely buggy. I've had to restart it a few times because during some of the scene's where I need to talk to people, the game will instead show us alone in our room. I've been playing this to try to get a perfect game for it and nobody has mentioned this yet from what i've seen but 3 of the steam achievements will never be shown as being completed. So if you don't mind having to save and quit constantly because the game bugs out and your frozen in place, or having to quit the game entirely due to it not letting you continue.

If you can get past the bugs then this a really good game. The story was done amazingly well and with a limited cast for the FMV sections they did a fantastic job! The game-play did get a little repetitive towards the end, but I still had fun with it. Overall I had a great time with it, although I seemed to be one of the lucky few that didn't run into any game breaking bugs. Some of the bugs I encountered (most of these where fixed by saving and quitting): - The FMV not loading - Getting stuck on a black screen between loading screens - When I would walk to the side of the screen in the hallway it would load me into a different room (like the dream theater) - When doing the crosswords the words would not load properly - The subtitles wouldn't show up sometimes or it would get stuck on my screen - At the end when I wanted to complete the remaining places that needed fixing the progress bar would get stuck - Ted not moving and getting stuck when accessing the screen in R&D

Recommended with caveat: -Really don't get your hopes up about this game. Looking at the store description, it's really easy to think it's more than it is. The touted "branching dialogue" really isn't there, and there are no major branches. However, the touted bugginess of other reviews has been (mostly) taken care of; it's still a bit janky, but nothing major anymore. This game is essentially a visual novel with FMV scenes and a management sim element; if that's something that sounds like it's up your alley, you'll have a good time, and if not you'll hate it. Given the game's low price, if you're undecided I'd say go for it, as it's a low investment gamble.

I don't usually review, but I can't let this one slide The thing is, the story is great. The concept is fantastic. However, it's bugged to hell. With the sheer amount of bugs and glitches in the game, it's clear that they didn't play test it fully before it was released, which is unacceptable. Also, it's been 3 years since they released the game, so I don't think it's going to be fixed. It's up to you to decide if you want to pay $11 for this beautiful mess of a game.
