so the full game is definitely worth playing and does a lot of unique, fun things with the format.......but the meta-story does not always land, it can feel intrusive, and--way too often--outright silly

i'd recommend it, but i'd say that you need to have some tolerance for cringe - and that, while the gameplay is fun, the story will actively prevent you from enjoying it in a way that feels intentional but is still really annoying
