How it feels

A quirky, strategic simulation where numbers rise and fall with whimsical absurdity and dark humor.

What players say

Players are split on this one: some love the satire of modern matchmaking and the deep optimization puzzle, while others find it a boring coinflip with a weak skill tree. A hidden true singleplayer mode in the options is reportedly the best way to play, though the mid-game forces a frustrating grind.
