How it feels
A short, black-and-white narrative game that feels like a thoughtful, low-energy exploration about mobile phone overuse.

What players say
Players describe it as a very short interactive story, not a game, with a straightforward message about smartphone addiction that many find unoriginal. There is split opinion: some appreciate the clear commentary and art, while others call it boring and hypocritical for using a computer to criticize phones.
