A lot weaker than I remember it being when I played it in my teenage years. I feel like the game's themes and atmosphere are pretty counter intuitive to the minigames Mr Smiley gives you. I should feel isolated, dreading the sound of the clock ticking, anxiously waiting for the next letter to deliver me more bad news. Instead I'm like "Shit, the snake hit the wall again. One more try and I'll read the letters."

In a way the pandemic years and the author's suicide might have made the game a lot more heavy and true to life than it planned to be on release, I'll leave that up to you if that makes the game age better or worse.
Also the cell door looks like amogus.
