Personally, I think that this game is really good. It is very difficult and punishing at times, mind you, but in a fun way. The game really feels like it is life or death, with how you have to juggle all of the tasks. It does seem short, with only 25 minutes of gameplay proposed to you in two different modes, but it really isn't that short. It takes longer, but it doesn't feel like the game is just wasting your time. Slowly getting the rhythm down and mastering the game feels very rewarding. One thing to note about the other reviews of this game that are up rn, is that all but 1 were made back when the game was still a demo, and stuff has changed and been tweaked since then. I also think that for the price, it is definitely worth a try. You can get a sense of how the game feels, and if it is for you in under two hours, which lets you refund the game if it wasn't for you, which i think is great. It lets those that like it play for a cheap price, and those who don't think this is their cup of tea can get their money back. You technically don't have to keep playing after beating the regular mode once, but the gameplay loop feels so nice that you try challenge mode, or even playing w…

This game has a good concept but it is just wayyyy too intense for the beginning of the game since the game expects that you know what to do just 1 min into the game. There's notes everywhere with long lines of text and I didn't even know you could turn on the power to turn on the lights + the vitals screen until I was just about to give up on the game. Towards the end it gets even more intense than the beginning so you have to pick up the pace quite a bit and the mother fing plant still attacked me even though I saw a bit of fertilizer in with it but it wasn't enough apparently lol. Overall a good idea of a game its just that the beginning was poorly done and the plant itself will attack you even with some fertilizer still visible in the pot with it and say its not enough or even when you turn the water off it will attack you and say its too much. https://youtu.be/LsrNXsQe8XY

I want to like it, I love the vibe and the idea of a horror virtual pet. But it's just way too difficult - not difficult in the fun, "Oh man I've got so much stuff to juggle, hope I can make it work" way, but difficult in the "I have no idea what I could be doing to be better at this" way. It's clear that there's a lot of systems going on here, but some of them are really opaque. For example, you need to turn a crank every few seconds to keep a light on. There's a little battery meter on your status screen, but it can be totally full and your light can still go out - implying that the battery has nothing to do with the light. Adding to this, the battery meter doesn't seem to fill when you turn the crank. But if the battery meter goes to 0, the light won't come on no matter how much you crank? I have no idea what the relationship is between the crank, the light, and the battery, and that means I can't plan for my survival. Similarly, the game seems to want you to juggle multiple things simultaneously, but everything's too fast to make this work. You water the plant by opening a valve, waiting for enough water to be sprinkled, then closing the valve after enough time has passed. Th…

I do like the game and it is fun to try to beat the game BUT its is a very hard game difficulty wise. I would suggest do a few test runs to understand what you need to keep everything under control and try to find strategies to be as efficient as possible.

cool idea and its cheap, but was way too intense and un-manageable to find it fun (also incredibly long - i barely managed at one point and then seeing that there was 8 minutes left was way too much of an ask)
