How it feels
A dense, deliberately provocative visual novel that gleefully overcomplicates everything, mixing absurdist satire with earnest philosophical overreach.

What players say
Players praise the unique art and music, calling the story mind bending, philosophical, and self-aware. One dissenting review notes there is no player interaction besides clicking, and they did not enjoy the experience.
