Better than a lot of of their past work.
It's a pretty easy resource management focused RPG.
This ends up fixing part of my issues with their game "I Hate You Please Suffer" by having the central gameplay loop revolve around paying rent proper.

However it falls short by being short, having lived through this pandemic working a similar job to not only the artist but also the character, the "despair" the game attempts to imply is weak compared to actual events in my real life that could cause the resource management aspect far more compelling.

It's a poor man's Paper's Please set instead of an authoritarian government facing war, it's an Amazon worker during the pandemic.
Instead of trying to take care of your family and attempting to do a good job to avoid real stress, you just gotta eat and use better abilities you get using your stress stat.

The artist's claims of "bad vibes" is really just them venting about their real life, and complaining about straw men, so it's not really "bad vibes" just uninteresting ones.
If you were very mad at stupid shit that happened during the pandemic maybe you can relate more?
