  • The technical quality is low, with issues such as poor graphics, confusing gameplay, and bugs that hinder the overall experience.

    The story is described as confusing and minimal, serving primarily as a plot device to illustrate the passage of time and the theme of empathy. While the surreal nature of the narrative may be intentional, it leaves players guessing about the overall meaning and context.

    • “I can really only guess what's going on, but being so surreal is probably the goal. The limited story serves as a plot device to show a progression of time through acts of empathy.”
    • “Story-wise, there isn't much going on, and there really isn't too much gameplay, but it's an interesting experience.”
    • “In any case, it's quite a confusing story overall.”
    • “I can really only guess what's going on, but being so surreal is probably the goal. The limited story serves more as a plot device to show a progression of time between acting with empathy.”

    The music in the game is sparse, with only certain sections featuring audio, and some players have noted that the looping can be quite short, potentially leading to a repetitive experience.

    • “The music is only present in certain areas, and the loops are often too short.”
    • “The soundtrack feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it easy to get tired of it quickly.”
    • “The music doesn't match the game's atmosphere, which detracts from the overall experience.”

    Users reported issues with the graphics, noting that switching from fullscreen to windowed mode was cumbersome and resulted in graphical glitches.

    • “Lastly, switching from fullscreen to windowed took several clicks, and then the graphics broke.”
    • “The character models look outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive.”
    • “The textures are low resolution, which detracts from the overall visual experience.”

    Users report significant stability issues, noting that the PDF format is buggy, with excessive white spaces and text being cut off, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The PDF itself is pretty buggy, with a lot of white spaces, choices seemingly going too far below, and even getting cut off at the bottom in the middle of the text.”
