What players say
Players praise the game's atmosphere and philosophical storytelling, comparing it to The Beginner's Guide or a Chilla's Art title. However, nearly everyone criticizes the fixed 30 FPS, lack of vsync, and forced 1080p resolution, with some refunding. The game is short, about an hour, and has no chase sequences or monsters.
