    It’s an experimental game that uses its PS1 aesthetic to drive home the surreal atmosphere of this world, and it’s easy to get lost in that atmosphere as you explore and experiment in search of different endings. It’s just a shame that the mystery runs out of steam so much sooner than the game itself does, dulling the impact with each new outing and robbing the “true” ending of much of its potential.

The music is cool and the in-game atmosphere is suitably off-putting, but ultimately there is a limit to the amount of time I am prepared to basically just walk around a static, low-res world doing nothing particularly exciting in the hopes of unlocking strange endings. I like the fact that indie developers are prepared to try new things like this, I just didn't happen to enjoy my experience playing through this one.… Full Review »
