    Interesting premise but the gameplay is a bit too tedious to feel worth it. I was going to push through and then I realized I was only halfway through a single run and figured I'd be better off doing something else. It's possible part of what's annoying me about it is intentional. I'm pretty sure the user is supposed to find "Buddy" a little annoying and overbearing, as an elements of horror, but the horror beats in…

    I'm not one to write too much online. But i cant help but say how much I adore this game. I may have forgotten it a long while ago and, be a bit lazy to get all the achievements (as of this comment). But honestly? I cannot help but appreciate this game. I dont think it is a game for everybody. But for those that stay. It is a experience I must recommend.
