Apparently I've played this game for almost 50 hours. I don't think it's that great. I do love the art design. As a story, it's a neat concept especially with how it melts together with the gameplay loop, but it leaves me feeling as blank and empty as the protagonist feels in the beginning. Maybe that's some kind of commentary on the recent trend of indie games leaning into the "NUMBER GOES UP!!!" genre ala Vampire Survivors, but it's still doing that thing at the end of the day. And it's doesn't even do that with the flare and absolute absurdity that Vampire Survivors does. It's a mindless timesink, but not in a way that loses you hours because of the constant casino-like dopamine flow. Instead, you lose hours because all of the goalposts are just far enough out of reach and the loops are all brainless enough to sleep through that you think "maybe this will be the run where I finally get the supply I need" but it isn't. It never is. Apparently I've played this game almost 50 hours.
