Man did this not click with me.
It seems right up my alley with how weird and political it is, but I just find it frustrating and too inscrutable. I keep having to redo levels and repeating minutes of gameplay on a loop because it's so damn hard.
I'm not as in love with the whole aesthetic as I thought I'd be either. Some tiny things surprised me like how the characters say the same lines without much variety. It's also full of long corridors that connect parts of the levels inelegantly by having you walk in straight lines for soooo long.
I just thought the brilliance on display would be upfront here, and not buried in so much frustrating time-wasters and confusing elements.
It's definitely interesting though how it completely forgoes most design rules (mostly in the UI and game feel) to fit within its own world. I'll probably give it another shot someday when I'm more in the mood.
