Gosh, such mixed feelings. All in all I believe it to be an ambitious failure. The story is confused and pretentious, the gameplay is repetitive and frustrating, the story themes are at times offensively simple and condescending.

I prefer to appreciate art when it reaches for the stars and comes up short - but this game feels more like a collection of influences and unfinished thoughts that occasionally strikes gold (ie. the first couple hours). I can't say that what this game ended up being as a finished product was good.

But all my praise to the visuals, the music, and the ambition, and I hope those that worked on this feel proud of the pieces. Please keep trying.
