Pretty neat overall. It's been looming over me for years as part of a bundle I got at some point, and seeing things involving jim guthrie here and there made me think this was like a Big Deal, like he's a big deal, and the stuff that happens in this game is a big deal. And it's not really, but it's nice, and does some interesting stuff.

Like twitter integration and trying to do a sort of asynchronous strand type souls thing but with actual social media. It'd be cool if some tweets or something showed up to reflect that. Other than that, it's a pretty nicely constructed atmospheric point and click without too obtuse of puzzles, an interesting time mechanic(that largely if you don't use the in-game item to work around it, it likely would have been a bit annoying), and some fun little rhythm combat sequences. Doesn't have much to say, but it says what it does want to convey pretty well.

I like its style, even tho this style of pixel art feels lazy and uninspired, some of the other details make up for it somewhat.
