This is a weirdo RPG maker type game with obvious inspirations to games like Yume Nikki and Earthbound. On the surface, this is really up my alley as and at the start of it I really did enjoy its bizarre writing and characters. But then in order to progress you have to solve some of the most obtuse puzzles I've encountered in the longest time. Due to the nature of this being a bizarre game many of the solutions to puzzles and even traversal of certain areas are just plain frustrating and not fun to figure out. I consulted a Youtube video multiple time just to figure out what to do next and at that point, given the short length of the game, I figured what's the point in playing it as I can just watch the rest.

I really wished I enjoyed this more as there is a lot of heart put into this shown not only from the inspirations but also from some very personal writing the author included about their life. Creators using games to reflect and express their own lives is something I always enjoy seeing, I just wish it was more fun to play. I still recommend people to try it out, especially since its free, as obviously others have gotten more out of it than I have.
