About
After listening to a new rap album I got inspired to vent by turning my feelings into a little game, where you play as a virus on his computer, making his life better, the hard way.

The story of the game is a poignant exploration of themes like depression, self-deprecation, and the struggles of productivity, resonating deeply with players. While some reviews praise its emotional depth and character-driven narrative, others criticize its fragmented storytelling and lack of coherence, leading to mixed feelings about the overall impact. Despite these criticisms, many players find the story relatable and moving, with a strong atmosphere that lingers long after gameplay.
“Each character encountered along the journey adds depth to the story, with their own struggles and motivations driving the plot forward.”
“The atmosphere is palpable, with an air of melancholy and wonder permeating every corner of the digital world. 'Life's' story and atmosphere linger long after the credits roll, leaving a lasting impression on players.”
“The story and endings are really where this game shines though; they make me feel called out.”
“The fragmented storytelling and lack of cohesive narrative thread leave players struggling to find meaning or coherence amidst the chaos of disjointed scenes and cryptic dialogue.”
“Yet, the gameplay doesn't bring anything new, nor actually creates a connected story or a sense of achievement by going around and clicking on random things, which are pretty disconnected from each other.”
“It just says the same old story (even if it's personal) of self-deprecation and procrastination (or maybe I just know it too well?).”
