Press reviews: “This is one time where a budget game is a better use of money than buying Steam market items. Go ahead and see what awaits at the true ending of the game.” 9/10 – IL PALLINO “If you love stories that start out meh but then gradually evolve into weirdville; which is probably its true name... Then this is one for the ages” 9/10 – DaRevieweD “The story is amazing and the twist of an ending is entirely worth seeing.” axelgust30
