    • “The story and environment is incredibly rich for a free game, and the art is very well done and the writing is phenomenal.”
    • “The story is very up to interpretation.”
    • “There doesn't really seem to be a narrative which can be pieced together diegetically and the player is forced to construct their own story from the pieces given.”
    • “Each choice you make alters the story dramatically and there is no apparent cohesion between the endings.”

    • “Its chill yet spooky atmosphere and OST are simply worth vibing to.”

    • “The haunting, lonely soundtrack that feels like a PlayStation fever dream.”
    • “Simple but really interesting; the ambience is cool and reminds me a lot of milk inside a bag of milk, especially the music and colors.”
