The verdict
A quirky, darkly funny voyeur-puzzle game where you spy on strangers' stories while juggling rent, food and sleep. Skip it if you want relaxed sleuthing or dislike time pressure and repetition.
Great for
Players who like detective puzzles, dark humor, time management and replaying runs for different endings
Main risk
Constant resource and time pressure drowns out the spying, and content repeats quickly after a few runs
