A beautifully dire tale that effectively conveys the protagonist’s pain and lack of agency through mixed media.
Great adaptation of the comic, providing a unique experience for those unfamiliar with the source material.
Short but impactful, with a nifty concept that could be expanded into a larger narrative.

The game is extremely short, lasting only about five minutes, which may leave players wanting more.
Lacks accessibility features and audio control options, making it less user-friendly.
The gameplay is minimal, often feeling more like a visual novel than a traditional game, leading to a sense of disappointment.

The story aspect is described as lacking a clear direction or mission, leading to a feeling of aimlessness, which some users find insufficient for a game experience. While the concept has potential for a more substantial narrative, it ultimately feels more like a tribute to a short story rather than a fully realized game. Additionally, the story is noted to be intense and not suitable for everyone.
- “The concept is good for a big story game, even if it's still good.”
- “A story not for the faint-hearted!”
- “It's a neat concept, but not nearly enough to advertise as a game; I could have just read a couple of pages of story instead.”
- “The landscape looks great, though there’s no real destination or sense of mission; it feels like you’re just walking.”
- “I'll just consider this a tribute to a short story.”
