Putting aside the "dev is a very bad guy" stuff, because he isn't profiting from downloading a free game, I think Middens is an interesting but very flawed game. Its artwork is amazing and the dialogue and world very intriguing, but it falls flat as a game pretty hard. It's trying to be a Yume Nikki-like exploration game, but with actual RPG combat. This is fine but you're never really told what to do, which in truth is as simple as "kill 20 guys and get to the endgame lol". You can run around forever without realizing that and be very confused, and probably die a lot along the way, or know about it beforehand and end the game kinda fast-ish. I think some manner of tighter level design would greatly help Middens as a game, but I can't help but feel that its confusing nature fits the setting extremely well. Ultimately, I think it's worth playing.
