    • “What starts as a desperate search for a roof over your head quickly spirals into a bizarre, heart-pounding (and surprisingly hilarious) journey that’s equal parts unsettling and endearing.”

    • “It certainly was not worth $5 in any universe and the entire story could have been drafted in a mere hour.”
    • “I kept waiting, ending after ending, choice after choice, for the plot to be explained in more depth, but it never was.”
