*2022-07-25*

What can one say about this game. It is weird and wonderful at the same time. What the story is about is left to one’s own imagination to work out. What it is, is a masterpiece of computer engineering such that I have never seen before. An episodic series of events which will keep you mystified throughout the game with wondering what will come next and empowering the imagination further and further into the abyss.

Dass spiel ist zwar gut gemacht haber man kann schlecht. Mit den Button unten interagieren was ziemlich nervt !!! Er sollte definitiv größer sein

*2021-05-18*

I have seen the credits and am now unable to even start the game. When I click on ‘app support’ it takes me to a betting site.
