[h3]Depressing and also Uplifting[/h3] A monologue, your inner voice, your inner self-critic, is plotting to kill you. [h3]There will be no Blood[/h3] Over and over your inner voice just wants you to give up. Who doesn't want to give up at times. times like when you have to fix that dripping toilet, but you have not got the skills or the tools. Your inner critic will tell you you are useless and you are unprepared. Just quietly die, and don't make a mess, there must be no blood. Go quietly. [h3]Lo-Graphics[/h3] A very simple text based lo-rez almost static storyboard-like graphics game, that works well and get's it's idea across. I was fascinated by this short free game, it's very very basic, very. But it is well delivered and I like the choice I made.

Short, unsettling, and hard to fully interpret. It builds tension quickly and ends in a way that leaves more questions than answers.

First sentence has a typo and it sets the tone of the game almost immediately. It tries to be deep and thoughtful but comes of as cringe and edgy instead.

Short, depressing, but ultimately ends on a positive note. The experience is dulled by the AI/TTS voice over, which makes it feel a bit tacky. Next time, don't include voices, or hire a human!
