Great short story game! Love Bithell's work!

Conversational text-adventure game that feels like an episode in a Netflix Original anthology series.

I think I'm getting a little tired of subjugated-humanoid-robots-with-emotions stories though

Pretty solid story game, well worth the couple of bucks I spent on it. More of a visual novel than a video game.

the world building was really cool. it would be neat to see this as a fully-fledged rpg, especially with the story it was building. i usually have a difficult time sitting down and focusing on a story for a little bit, so this was intriguing enough to allow me to easily finish it in one sitting (as well as how short the game is any way).

one other thing i would like to mention is my appreciation for the developers including hints to the puzzles, especially the ones where you had to solve within conversation, like the glitch. it made it a lot easier for me, and i appreciate that. it's always good to have your story, your art, accessible to everybody, and to not spoil an experience by making it too difficult to play through.

This intriguing narrative adventure only took a few hours to complete but posed fascinating questions about sentient AI and technology saturation.
