If you like Tetris, this is it. No frills, nothing. Just Tetris.
This review contains spoilers
I really like the concept behind this game but it felt like it showed its hand too early with the "ghost" flashing immediately after delivering the first flag. That and the sequences where the entity flies towards the camera and you can't move just gives the game away around the threat and the game can't recapture the same eerie feeling it had at the beginning when you know what's in store. If the reveal was more gradual, it would've been a lot more engaging but as it is, it quickly loses any scare factor. The story, by itself, is fine but the simple explanation given in-game just overexplains something that was probably better to be hinted at. Not bad and had a lot of potential but that's pretty much it.
For something with such a dumb premise as this, this actually goes much further than I ever expected it to.
The voice acting, writing, and art are pretty delightful, although the juvenile sense of humour, while working for the most part, can be a little much sometimes. It's a lot of fun for what it is, capturing an odd mix of creepiness and genuinely wholesome moments. Obviously inspired by Doki Doki Literature Club but manages to do it's own thing.
