“I bought this a long time ago because I really loved the concept and aesthetics, but I dropped it early on since it wasn’t very keyboard-friendly. After I finally got a controller and finish everything this game has to offer, I'm honestly…”
“I bought this game years ago, and finally played in on an old laptop while my other computer is being fixed. Honestly, I was ready to quite within 15 minutes. It is so heavy on the meta, 4th wall, 'the narrator is the antagonist' shtick…”
