Despite these flaws, the game offers unique mechanics and a distinct atmosphere, making the demo a worthwhile preview for potential players.

    • “The creators were making a fun game they were passionate about, with a clever mechanic and enjoyable gameplay.”

    • “The gameplay is clever in concept, but it was executed poorly.”
