The game features lovely pixel graphics and a fun, though dark, plot that creates a warm feeling upon completion.
It offers a unique experience with multiple endings and a bit of humor, making it enjoyable for those who appreciate narrative-driven games.
As part of a bundle, it provides a worthwhile experience, especially for those looking to explore all possible endings in a short amount of time.

The game is very short, with most playthroughs lasting only 10-30 minutes, which may not justify a standalone purchase.
Many players found the endings predictable and lacking depth, leading to a feeling of repetitiveness.
There are concerns about the overall value of the game, as it feels more like a mini-game or tech demo rather than a fully developed title.
