God, this game shot itself in the foot. The premise is good, the presentation is pleasantly minimalist, the narration is charming, and some of the early choices are genuinely thought-provoking. But then the game goes into creepypasta mode with glitchy visuals, jumpscare-y images, and obnoxious 'creepy' dialogue that just made me laugh. Like, phew, thank God we've entered into ten-year-old territory, I was worried for a moment that I'd actually have to think about my choices. And then the game just gets progressively sillier and edgier, culminating in the finale where you get high for no reason and answer a bunch of goofy questions before getting sent to hell and being presented with a choice that literally says "would you kill everyone in the entire world or kill yourself?"

Now, here's the crucial thing to note about this question. This game not only keeps track of what you answer, but you can always see, at the end of each question, a percentage meter showing how many other players agree or disagree with your choice. This is a good idea. However, there's another meter that tells you whether or not the dev agrees with your choice. Slightly arrogant, but a decent idea all the same. So, with that in mind, let's go back to that "do you sacrifice the entire world or just yourself?" question. As of this writing, most players logically picked 'sacrifice yourself'.

The dev would have picked 'kill the entire world'.

This means one of two things. Either the dev picked the funny edgy answer, and thus he didn't take his own game seriously even though he wants us to... or, he's an edgelord and he actually thinks this, which completely destroys the rest of his opinions and the very nature of this game as a whole.

A good premise undone by juvenile creepypasta bullshit and hypothetical questions that get lamer and lamer with time. Too many 'obviously right' questions that render the point of having to think about making a choice utterly null and invalid. Also WAY too expensive, this is literally more than Undertale and it's not even an hour-and-a-half. Pretty bad game, tbh. Good concept, though!
