    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in the game is notably flawed, with confusing and poorly explained mechanics, frequent bugs, and slow, awkward controls that hinder user experience. However, some aspects, such as the unique dialogue system and the concept of turning everyday tasks into challenges, offer originality and potential, though overall the gameplay feels frustrating and unrewarding for many players.

    • “The gameplay involves, from what I can tell so far, doing everyday tasks that other people take for granted, but making those tasks a challenge -- for instance, walking to the bank, buying pizza, talking to someone about buying a new game, crossing the street, just performing basic daily tasks, all are the central challenges of the game.”
    • “I've never played a game with these kinds of mechanics, and some of it is pretty darn original!”
    • “One of the mechanics that I found unique and fun is probably the dialogue battle system, where you are given the option to type your answer to talk to someone, like real life!”
    • “It's full of typing errors, UI errors, unclear gameplay that often just doesn't work. Software testing is not optional, but the game was clearly released in no state to be published.”
    • “All of the mechanics are poorly explained and also they don't even work half the time (I couldn't check my phone, for example).”
    • “The controls are awful and there's so little explanation of how the mechanics work that I can't wrap my head around it.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed reviews, with some praising the retro, pixelated, and cyberpunk aesthetics as visually appealing and stylish, while others criticize them as clunky, ugly, or potentially straining on the eyes. Though the art style has fans, many find character designs inconsistent with the backgrounds, and some consider the visuals among the worst on the platform. Overall, the graphics evoke strong, polarized reactions depending on personal taste and sensitivity.

    • “I really want to like this game; though it has bugs causing crashes after saving and loading, it features a nice retro aesthetic style.”
    • “The art style of this game is really cool, with a blend of old-school pixelated look and some new-school elements.”
    • “Good concept as well as stunning visuals and sounds.”
    • “The graphics here are particularly awful, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam.”
    • “I really like the background and cyberpunk aesthetics, but the characters ruin it by being too out of place, too simple, ugly, and plain compared to the pretty scenario.”
    • “The graphics are hard on my eyes and may possibly hurt your eyes and trigger seizures.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally praised for its engaging and cute narrative, with multiple endings that offer player choice and meaningful outcomes. Players appreciate the thoughtful story wrap-up and interesting ideas, complemented by appealing pixel art and music. Some mention minor challenges with gameplay controls but still enjoy the overall story experience.

    • “The story to the game in the ending I got was pretty great and I liked how it wrapped up.”
    • “With multiple endings, the story can go any number of ways, and you have the power to make that happen concerning how you respond to something, or how to go about doing something.”
    • “There's a cute storyline and different things you can do.”
    • “☐ story?”
    • “You go and collect stuff and do missions as far as I can tell although I got stumped after I got the food and came back home on day 1.”
    • “I have retried the first stage three times; the first and the second I failed the mission and I lost the data at the third playthrough.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some users praising the soundtrack as nice and amazing, while others find it annoying. Overall, the music complements the game's cute story and pixel art, but personal preferences vary.

    • “Talking, handling noise, etc., cute story, nice soundtrack.”
    • “I liked the pixel art, music, and the little story I got.”
    • “The music and visuals are amazing.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have mixed feelings about the game's emotional impact, with some finding the portrayal of mental and emotional health issues potentially problematic or unsettling. Meanwhile, others relate deeply to the character's communication challenges, which evoke a personal and sometimes uncomfortable emotional response.

    • “The character is a lot like me, having issues with sound as well as a communication barrier. This made me feel like he was me in some strange way, where some of the sounds were also bugging me out and some of the communication parts made me feel weird.”
    • “Trying to address serious issues such as mental and emotional health through the medium of video games is misguided and can be harmful.”
    • “Unless a certain person has made an emotional impact on us, everybody we see might as well be black blurs walking by.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is poor, with frequent bugs and clunky performance that hinder basic functionality.

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
