The verdict
A short, stylish surreal visual novel that portrays psychosis and trauma through striking art and music. Skip it if you want a clear plot, skipping/save features, or lots of content for the price.
Great for
Players who want an abstract, emotional mental-illness story and don't mind ambiguity or short length
Main risk
Cryptic, thin story and tedious replays for a short, pricey game
