- “This game has zero plot and zero optimization.”
- “Why did I play this? I don't know. What's the story? I'm not sure. How did I feel playing this? I don't know. Was this game worth it? Probably not. Did I chuckle at the ending? Yes. Not sure why this game kept popping up on my Steam page but here I am and I played the walking sim not knowing what was going on and honestly it felt just like any other multiverse story.”
