Continue?9876543210 is as weird as its title suggests, and surprisingly clever as well.
"Continue?9876543210" is a single-player Science Fiction Quiz game with a good plot and splendid atmosphere, but awful mechanics and lots of grinding. As a dead video game character in the Random Access Memory, players explore existential themes and their own mortality in this unique, confusing, and emotional journey, reminiscent of games like Gone Home and Papers Please. The splendid soundtrack and philosophical exploration make it a memorable and thought-provoking experience.

Critic Reviews
My lightning, my prayer -- Continue?9876543210 review
Continue?9876543210 asks for more than mere rote skill-based challenges. Rather, it forces us to reflect on existence, and explore the dark recesses of inevitability. As a game, it’s unpolished, but as a rumination on mortality, it’s an interactive poem.
