  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has been described as disjointed and confusing, with many players struggling to grasp its core message amidst a backdrop of mundane gameplay and repetitive themes of bullying. While some appreciate the moral about perseverance, the overall narrative lacks coherence and depth, leaving players uncertain about its intent. There is a sense of curiosity about future developments in the story, suggesting potential for improvement.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “It's maybe good to better understand the story when you missed it the first time.”
    • “Interested to see where the developers go from here with the story.”
    • “It was sometimes difficult for me to know what the story was trying to tell me.”
    • “The story is all over the place and lacks much sense.”
    • “The gameplay consists of walking around, hovering up pills, and wading through a couple of irritating puzzles as you explore a few classrooms and listen to a mind-numbing description of how someone was bullied at school, which seems to account for the majority of the understandable part of this mess of a story.”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a unique mechanic where vision becomes increasingly obstructed as health decreases, which some players find frustrating and counterproductive. Players navigate through environments, collect items, and solve puzzles, but the experience is marred by tedious storytelling and the necessity to consume sleep pills to maintain clarity. Overall, while the approach to the subject matter is appreciated, the execution of the gameplay mechanics leaves much to be desired.

    • “I admired the unique approach taken in this gameplay towards that subject and, as I said at the start, it's why I recommend this game.”
    • “Not a terrible mechanic as it stands, but for some reason the developer thought he would obstruct your vision more and more as your health ticks down.”
    • “It gets to the point where you reach half health and the game becomes unplayable, forcing you to take your health pack, which kind of defeats the purpose of the mechanic. It's a weird choice of design for the blurring; it basically looks like your eyes are sweating.”
    • “The gameplay consists of walking around, collecting pills, and wading through a couple of irritating puzzles as you explore a few classrooms and listen to a mind-numbing description of how someone was bullied at school, which seems to account for the majority of the understandable part of this mess of a story.”
