EDIT : thanks for the answer ! I can play it now. ^^ I litteraly cannot finish the tutorial. For some reason, our pointer can only draw two spaces higher than its place, so the second training sign cannot be completed.

The story is very on the nose about how the use of AI is bad, but that's not actually a bad thing especially considering all the points the story bring up are not only points I agree with but only further serve to enhance the story. I genuinely felt disturbed and a sense of urgency to wipe out the meat-made mimics of inanimate and animate life alike. Along with this, the gameplay was incredibly engaging and simply just fun. I found myself playing the Arena mode more than once to not only beat it but to simply have more gameplay. Much like with Vertigrowl (Another game made by the developers of this game) the movement is pretty simple, but when more enemies, obstacles, and mechanics are introduced the game gets more challenging and more fun! The Final boss fight was genuinely hard but not infuriating as I felt with every hit or death I encountered was from my own incompetence or impatience. (Unlike with Vertigrowl's Final boss which I believed is complete and utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, like genuinely almost made me downvote and otherwise amazing game with how ♥♥♥♥ that was.) By the end of the game I felt a genuine sense of "I have to stop this. No matter what." By the time I got to the final…

Pretty good game. the gameplay and monster design are the highlight of this game. The sigil drawing while simple does get rather complex in the later levels and it becomes surprisingly hard. Especially the final boss, which was a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The story is alright, but i do feel its a little on the nose. Overall worth playing

Genuinely cool gameplay and story. I wouldn't regret paying for this even despite the short length, and yet it's free. Play it.

Gameplay wise, this is fun. There is not much to say: it is simple yet challenging at times. I should assume that aesthetically it is pleasing to anyone who has stumbled upon it, so I can avoid talking about that. And yet what a pile of a garbage the writing and, [i]especially[/i], the story is! Have you ever seen the Nazis' caricature of the USA? Imagine it drawn by someone with a contempt for America. Instead of a colossus spreading democracy by bombing cities, imagine an evil bourgeois spreading AI. Now stop imagining it being drawn, because the story is written in text like some kind of a reddit™ gold-tier prediction. I hate to mention the 'show, don't tell rule', but if you're willing to commit to creating art instead of 'slop', I'd suggest using it to prove your point, as I don't think grim red images are enough. Hopefully your artistic imagination combined with bluesky acc will help you with this difficult (to come up with) task: portraying (not writing) AI as something [i]very very evil[/i].
