What players say
Players compare it to Papers, Please but set at a medical checkpoint. Many praise the oppressive dystopian atmosphere and how decisions create tension. Reviews consistently note the ending comes abruptly around day 26-28, leaving the story feeling unfinished. Several players appreciate the multiple endings and the developer's responsiveness to feedback.
