A spiritual sequel of sorts to Universal Paperclips. Has some fairly amusing moments early on with some cute jokes and worldbuilding, but all this is torched in Act 3 where the writing starts to alternate between very on the nose in the delivery of its message and somewhat frustration and annoyance with how the wacky hijinks of the various characters were mixed into all this.

Gameplay has a similar downward trajectory. Early on it feels like the game is aiming to subvert idle games, but the further you get the more lost in the mire of waiting around you get. The experience wasn't wholly without merit, but I left very dissatisfied wishing my time was spent basically anywhere else.
