So, I'm just gonna go ahead and be 100% honest with all of you... I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what I just witnessed in this game. It is without a doubt the weirdest and most abstract game I have ever played or seen, and I have seen a lot of weird shit. Hell, I never even heard of this game until earlier today. However, with that being said... just because I don't understand something doesn't mean I hate it, and if I were to give any thoughts on it, I would say I weirdly enjoyed this.

This game is more so an experience than anything. From what I can gather, you are basically experiencing the creation, life, and death of a defect, playing a part in what "percentage of life" you live throughout the many stages of its life, paired along with music and voice tracks throughout the experience that are just as confusing as everything else. With that being said, I did enjoy a lot of it. The presentation is very unique, especially for a game released around this time, and the music and voicework is extremely well done.

As for the gameplay itself, while it may seem inconsequential, it does provide a bit of insight into what's going on with this defect, even if I myself couldn't see it, and despite the little impact you have, what you do does feel like it has a genuine effect on the subject itself. Throughout the entire thing, you can tell that there was love and care put into this, and it has shown, given the rereleases and legacy this game has had throughout the almost 40 years that it has been a thing.

Overall, while I will probably never properly understand it, I did find it to be a very unique and unforgettable experience that is definitely worth remembering and preserving for years to come.
