How it feels

Playing feels like operating a cryptic corporate spreadsheet where you make consequential choices without ever seeing their human impact.

What players say

Players describe a short, cryptic puzzle game that does not explain its mechanics, leaving them to figure out everything on their own. Some enjoy the challenge and abstract ASCII presentation, while others find the combat rules impenetrable and the story nearly absent.
