    The story of Expander centers on a shapeshifting hero, represented as a brick, navigating a melancholic and surreal geometric nightmare that serves as a metaphor for the cold, logic-driven aspects of modern life.

    • “Expander follows the deep, slightly melancholic storyline of a shapeshifting hero (the brick) traveling through a seemingly endless nightmare of geometry, a metaphoric picture for the cold, logic-driven world we experience today.”
    • “The story is convoluted and fails to engage the player, leaving many plot points unresolved.”
    • “The characters lack depth and development, making it hard to care about their journeys.”
    • “The narrative feels disjointed and often confusing, detracting from the overall experience.”
