What players say
Players say this is a very short visual novel made with Ren'Py that costs $2000, a price almost everyone considers a marketing stunt. Many call the writing juvenile and point out an unskippable prologue with right-wing themes about population and estrogen. A few joking reviews call it worthwhile for bragging rights, but the overwhelming sentiment is that it is not worth buying.
