A bleak, solitary grind through the endless night of academic research, where the weight of a single paper presses down on your sleepless mind.

What players say
Players portray this as a brutally honest simulation of academic research, capturing the tedium of finding subjects and analyzing data. The short one-hour playthrough is praised for its realistic depiction, but criticized for repetitive loops and a game-breaking bug that can erase progress.
