- “Kinda short but I really liked the dialogue; it's funny, and some weird stuff can happen. My main problem is that you don't have a dedicated key for continuing dialogue, which made me skip some actions in a cutscene and do stuff I wouldn't do, like shooting myself in the face lol. At least I got an ending out of it.”
