✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's cool premise and hidden Easter eggs, with some finding the humor and references entertaining, but most criticize the lack of meaningful gameplay, excessive downtime, and slow pacing that undercuts any horror atmosphere. The experience feels padded out for its price, with one reviewer noting that the short climax doesn't justify the time investment, while others feel there's simply not enough to do.
The Salesman song is such a bop its amazing dude lmao1 found this helpful
I can see the vision, I think the concept for the game could be great, but it's just way too boring and repetitive. This is probably their first horror game (judging from their published Steam games), so I'll give them some slack, but you basically do the same thing for 5 days, with maybe something extra to do, or maybe some scare, but that's it. There are multiple sections in the game where you do nothing but wait, whether it be for the microwave to finish microwaving or just watching Chroma Corp ads. While I don't mind the Chroma Corp ads, other people probably do mind, and will probably be frustrated with how much waiting you do in the game. The scares are fine, one even got me, tho the boring and repetitive gameplay lessens the impact for me. I can tell passion was put into the game through all the short videos during the doomscrolling sections, the Chroma Corp commercials, and easter eggs put throughout the game, but I feel like the game is way too boring in my opinion.1 found this helpful
