    It's kinda long, kinda like a short poem, I think. One of those short poems that really sums it all up. Not an intellectual enough to see all the intricacies of themes and ideas of the game, but still could appreciate the bleak yet cozy story, the great mixture of visual, audio and text elements, the wonderful songs and sounds. The main compliment would probably be that the game creates one of those worlds you want…

    This is an impressive work of interactive fiction but I'm not sure it qualifies as a game. I was expecting a point and click adventure. I found it meandering and ultimately annoying - but I can certainly see how others would appreciate its artistic merit. Recognize that this isn't really an adventure game so much as a work of art, and it may be for you.
