    The story is generally described as cryptic, convoluted, and difficult to follow, with many users finding it fragmented and lacking clarity in its current state. However, some appreciate its experimental, non-linear narrative approach and note that a more coherent and engaging story develops as the game progresses or unlocks new content. Overall, it’s not suited for those seeking a traditional or straightforward storyline.

    • “Right, so I get what they were going for here. The game is basic and the story is pretty good.”
    • “The story is told in audio clips which are fragmented in the first state and fully available in the second. Thus, the game only hints at certain themes while "short" but fleshes out the actual story when "extended".”
    • “At the moment, the game's story is told from the perspective of a child who has created the game as a school assignment set for them at a point in the future where life-extension has become everyday, and so the gameplay and visuals match the strange meshing of found textures and assets that a child might use in a school assignment.”
    • “The story is convoluted and hard to follow for the most part, involving people who get to live forever because of some game; not really clear or engaging.”
    • “If you are looking for something with a coherent story, this is definitely not it!”
    • “It is difficult to follow the story; everything is very cryptic.”

    The gameplay is described as basic, crude, and unpolished, with simple controls and minimal engagement, often overshadowed by the game's story and unique aesthetic. While the developer hints at future gameplay expansions tied to player achievements, the current experience remains minimal and intentionally simplistic, aligning with the game's conceptual design.

    • “Unique mechanic, avant-garde aesthetic, cool take on a complicated subject.”
    • “The developer promises more gameplay and gameplay extensions with every achievement other players get, and that's a very novel idea.”
    • “The gameplay is simple, and intentionally so.”
    • “A 'trippy' game that tries to be far more clever than it is; it is ruined by boring gameplay with no instructions and bad dialogue that is impossible to care about.”
    • “The animations are crude, the gameplay and controls are crude, and the execution is crude.”
    • “The developer promises more gameplay and gameplay extensions with every achievement other players get (a very novel idea), but the gameplay as it is isn't polished enough to be engaging.”
  • music

    The music is generally praised for being fitting, soothing, and enjoyable, with a good and trippy soundtrack that adds to the game's atmosphere. However, some users note inconsistent volume levels, where the music can overpower narration or voices at times. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a strong positive aspect of the game.

    • “The music playing during the 'Theos Quest' sections is pretty cool, very soothing and full of childlike wonder.”
    • “Great stuff, very trippy, very fun soundtrack.”
    • “The background music is also quite good.”
    • “However, the volume levels in some parts of the game are off, resulting in either too quiet voices or too loud music.”
    • “But if I play over speakers and turn it up enough to hear narration, then as soon as something else cuts in, the music is blaring loud enough to wake up the house.”
    • “I can tell you that the gameplay is so basic it's boring and is held up by ready screens; the music is fitting, but the overall experience suffers.”
  • graphics

    The graphics feature a unique, avant-garde, and trippy aesthetic with drug-like visuals that contribute to a distinctive, surreal atmosphere. However, the visuals can be overwhelming, with flashing lights posing concerns for photosensitive players, and the overall style feels disjointed, reflecting a child's experimental and mixed-media approach.

    • “The game features a unique mechanic and avant-garde aesthetic, offering a cool take on a complicated subject.”
    • “The game's story is told from the perspective of a child who created it as a school assignment, reflected in the gameplay and visuals that blend found textures and assets in a strange but fitting way.”
    • “The music is fitting and the graphics are too, complementing the overall experience despite the convoluted storyline.”
    • “The game has flashing lights and visuals that are not suitable for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy.”
    • “The gameplay is very basic with no real forward control, and the graphics are equally basic with no real advancement.”
    • “The visuals are trippy and repetitive, but coupled with unclear premise and long unskippable cutscenes, they detract from the experience.”
