How it feels
You are a psychiatrist in a bleak retro-futuristic city, using arcade-like machines to treat troubled citizens while carefully balancing your limited time and resources.

What players say
Players compare it to Papers, Please but set in a dystopian psychiatry office. The game is short at 2-4 hours per run, with nine endings requiring multiple playthroughs. Some find the timed minigames frustrating and tedious, while others enjoy the narrative and moral choices. Steam Deck controls are criticized as unusable.
