What players say

Players praise the game's writing for tackling taboo topics with nuance, and note its shame mechanics respond to choices. The art evokes Omori, but some describe the gameplay as simple and puzzles as basic. However, a few report crashes and clunky menus, and one player got stuck in an apocalypse loop.
