How it feels

a brief, minimalist experience that uses a single absurd rule to poke at the player's assumptions about winning and losing.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, free dark comedy where you walk between your wife and the cow. The central dilemma is simple but a few say there are multiple endings worth finding. Some find the back-and-forth tedious and the moral choice shallow.
