This game was beautiful. Having worked in the bullshit tech world, they've nailed the feeling. It touches on the dystopian and frustrating nature of it all, but what I found most impressive was it's ability to make it all feel cozy at the same time.
It's the same thing tech companies do. You're tricked into spending so much time at the office because it's been made to feel like a second home. The fact that the main character's home is barely used rings so true. It's a place to change your clothes, that's about it.
I found myself missing aspects of working at a startup while playing this game. Which is really saying something considering how traumatic it was. Any game that makes you feel nostalgic for a horrible period of life does is masterful at narrative.
Gameplay wise, it's a roguelite. I'm not sure it does anything there that elevates the genre, but it's still a fun beat em up with plenty of fun powers.
Also I have to callout the beautiful, whacky textures that appear on the character's clothing. Found myself staring at them for way too long.
