Though certainly not for everyone, especially those who can't handle internet humor, this game has a lot of promise, and is not a waste of time. Especially since the pacing never bores you, no segment felt too short, no segment felt too long. The variety on display here truly shows the limits of the Ren'py engine in ways that genuinely left me slack-jawed. The UI work also left a very positive impression on me. Story wise however, may vary, you'll have to be okay with a lot of unanswered questions for most of the game's runtime as well as "quirky" dialogue (that personally wasn't for me). You also have to be down with weird conceptual ideas over a concrete plot/character arc. But overall, if you like weird experiences that showcase a lot of variety or internet humor... or just like Breaking Bad a lot, this game is for you!
