Kind of like an $8 personality test. Puzzles (such as they are) felt too... literal.

Some of the textures I recognized from Substance Painter, which was kinda funny.

pretty cool
didnt really get it

Pretty relatable, except that ending part... I would probably need some psychoactive substances to fully relate to that.

A lot of stuff about finding yourself(?) and being okay with who you are(?), and also something about evolving past our human form, all trapped in a vapourwave coating that doesn't go as far stylistically as I would hope. It's fine.

i... i really get what the devs were going for but. the attempts to be deep are overdramatic to a point of being laughable.

like you have to wash a sheet using Guilt brand bleach with Vulnerability detergent. you then select how masculine or feminine the sheet is, and how rebellious it is to authority.

i'm sorry, i just. how am i meant to take that seriously...?

( outside of this point, i found the controller support janky, the exploration unrewarding, and the forced motion blur sickening. the environments were cool though ! )

I was really hoping for more from this game, but it’s still a decent enough game. For a walking sim it’s kind of weak, mostly due to the reused assets and lack of reward for exploring. If you like the surreal vaporwave/mallcore aesthetic and are bored on a Saturday night, it’s a pretty cheap game to vibe to.
