Ratings and reviews

This game was odd! But I enjoyed it!!! Of course there's a couple of flaws though. I feel the story is a little railroad-y, do a specific thing for the good ending or else you get a bad ending. and a bit subjective but the story was a bit confusing for me, Who is the primary focus, who was this about? is it about me? the wall? or the woman? The gameplay was also a bit up-and-down, one moment you wait a bunch and the next you're all the sudden active! At least until the first ending.

My only complaint is the "Es worshipper" result. It felt like a punishment for game exploration. I guess curiosity killed the cat or I guess in this case it gets you labeled as a disappointment for your entire save file. So a tip. Don't bother Es. For those curious, she reacts different per..."route" and after about 10 taps which are also changed per "route". If you wish to see all the reactions, get your final test result first. Other than that, this is an excellent game.

Not much replay value, BUT-- Interesting concept and experience, beautiful, haunting soundtrack. I lovingly call it a peaceful, philosophical reprogramming, haha since it's a clicker game where you multiply points by poking chat bubbles that are quotes from literary pieces. Simple, but put me on various novels/books to read such as No Longer Human and Metamorphosis. Although it doesn't really have much replay value, it's been probably 3 years since I got all routes and it truly sticks with you.
