I picked this one up because one of my favorite producers—Aiobahn—made the music for it, and the soundtrack does not disappoint, boasting a really unique and cool blend of styles and moods. Good job Aiobahn!

There are some interesting game design elements here, and I’m a sucker for this kind of stat management game (make one number as big as possible while keeping several others within a homeostatic range). It ultimately fails to coalesce into anything worthwhile though. First and mostly, it fails to treat the title character—an aspiring e-girl streamer—with any real empathy. The way the relationship between the player character and the streamer is portrayed through the writing and game design is discomfiting. This isn't inherently a bad thing and could be interesting if done in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way, but the problem is that while effort was put into recreating a facsimile of streamer culture and the parasocial relationships that go along with it, the game doesn’t figure out anything meaningful or insightful to say about any of it. And the endings all fall flat, either reaching for unearned shock value or just trailing off lacklusterly. Here’s hoping Aiobahn can add his magic to something more deserving in the future
