    The story is concise, taking about two hours to complete, and effectively weaves supernatural elements with relatable themes like objectification and political oppression without feeling heavy-handed. The optional extra chapter adds emotional depth, and the game appropriately warns players about its dark themes.

    • “The plot does a really good job using supernatural themes in support of relatable narratives.”
    • “And make sure to read the extra chapter once you've finished the main story (it hits hard).”
    • “The main story only took about 2 hours for me to read through, and I tend to read at a pretty slow and intentional pace.”
    • “There is a warning about the dark themes present in the story before the game loads, but I want to highlight it again here.”
    • “It is easy to read themes about objectification and political oppression (and emancipation) from the plot without it feeling like you're being bashed over the head.”
  • music

    • “Very short, very emotional, very doomed, very liberating.”
    • “The emotional notes hit hard - while it borrows subject matter that I've seen done very poorly in the past, it manages to pull it off without feeling cliché.”
