  • Interesting detective/puzzle gameplay that involves piecing together events with external research, providing a unique logic deduction experience.
  • Well performed audio with strong voice acting that adds entertainment value despite lack of subtitles.
  • Short and affordable, making it a low-commitment game suitable for a brief casual experience.
  • The game's narrative is incoherent, politically uncomfortable, and heavily reliant on controversial, far-right conspiracy theories which many find off-putting or irresponsible.
  • Lack of accessibility options such as subtitles and poor UI/menus detract significantly from the overall experience.
  • Repetitive and linear puzzle design mainly involving googling dates, resulting in shallow detective work and diminishing engagement over time.

    The story primarily retells real events in a chronological, unengaging manner, with puzzling plot connections and a satirical tone that doesn't always land. While some players appreciated piecing together the timeline and the original song summarizing plot points, many found the narrative awkward, politically charged, and lacking in compelling intrigue or meaningful investigation. Overall, the story feels underdeveloped and overshadowed by gameplay and UI issues.

    • “Because of that, I found the political story less accessible than the music of his previous titles, but I was still drawn in by the end and enjoyed piecing together the timeline.”
    • “Even the story itself, hokey as it may be, has its moments.”
    • “I wasn't expecting the plot to use real events so much, although that does make sense of the release date.”
    • “The story is mostly paraphrasing things that actually happened, and thus isn't very interesting, other than the way events are connected to each other.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story is the only reward - it didn't feel as though I was investigating something as much as simply following someone else's investigation in chronological order.”
    • “There's definitely something there, but persistent UI weirdness, the story being okay at best, and lack of options/settings (even a quit button on the main menu) soured it for me.”

    The gameplay offers a simplified, thematic approach reminiscent of Return of the Obra Dinn's logic deduction, with some innovative elements like scrub-able audio. However, it can feel frustrating and shallow, relying heavily on external research rather than deeper mechanics, resulting in a less engaging experience. Overall, it serves as a basic, stripped-down version of social deduction gameplay but lacks depth and polish.

    • “The gameplay is frustrating, yet thematic - the first step is the hardest, and as you make progress, the conspiracy unravels itself.”
    • “Short and sweet - if you're looking for a stripped down version of Return of the Obra Dinn style logic gameplay, you'll find it here.”
    • “I landed at 101 minutes, after having to restart because a glitch had me get extra progress 'for free' after about 38 minutes of gameplay.”
    • “Mechanically, it touches lightly on the sort of organic social deduction featured in games referenced on the store page like Obra Dinn, and while things like scrub-able audio are interesting in theory, in practice it's mostly just googling dates for things people say on audio or in some very basic articles.”
    • “These mechanics could be improved to tell a much more interesting story; instead, it becomes a 'right-wing conspiracy nut drag and drop fantasy where the answer is googling when Taylor Swift's birthday is'.”
  • music

    The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring good voice acting and an original, memorable song that effectively ties up the plot. While some find the musical elements enjoyable and engaging, others feel the finale song is less appealing or optional. Overall, the soundtrack adds to the game's unique atmosphere despite mixed reactions.

    • “The musical finale is the cherry on the cake of a well written and well voice acted gem.”
    • “Good voice acting and music.”
    • “A conspiracy theory song sung by a female Joe Rogan doing a horrible country accent.”
    • “I could have done without the song at the end, but you can just skip it.”
    • “The satire doesn't always hit, but credit to having an original song that wraps up all of the plot points.”
  • humor

    The humor in the game is generally light and topical, with some genuinely funny moments and strong voice performances that can elicit laughter. However, it is more subtle than uproarious and may not satisfy those expecting broad or satirical comedy. Some users find it less impactful due to the serious nature of the themes addressed.

    • “The audio performances are excellent - one famous voice made me laugh out loud, utterly unexpected.”
    • “It's a short and sweet logic puzzle with some topical humor.”
    • “It has funny moments (one of the concepts is hilarious) - just don't expect the "uproarious satirical comedy" provided.”
