The game's message and its presentation is too on the nose. So "on the nose" that I'm not even sure at all if it qualifies as artistic expression or a documentary/vlog, but it's a relatable experience nonetheless. Joke review for people who don't like big words: Game development is a hell of a drug am I right guys haha

I read a few negative reviews about the pacing/ideas being a bit all over the place but honestly I thought this game was amazing - the layout of this game is what makes it interesting. I especially loved the ending and I think it gives you time to sit and ponder on the experience you just played through and what it all means... AND ALL THIS FOR FREE??? If you haven't already, play this game (especially if you like indie/psychological games!)
