Good short and to-the-point cosmic horror. I really enjoyed the short time with it. Id really like to see more from this developer. I cant say much because I dont want to spoil anything, but if you get into it, its a nice snack.

End of the world simulator. Cost of this game is 89 pence in England which is the same price as a bag of crisps or a mars bar. This lasts longer than both and is more memorable. But dont expect game of the year obviously for you nuggets out there. It has some genuine vibes and that space looks nice. Lasts about 20 mins. Check it out.

Very short, but really cool. Wish it was longer and the idea was fleshed out further.

really cool idea, but i wish there was objectives you had to complete for the week to end instead of only having until 6am to take pictures. The idea was great the execution was decent. 6/10 only a dollar so it was worth it.
