This is not a game. This is nothing. This is meant to bait teens into discussing game theories about the potential meanings behind things. There are no meanings. There is nothing. The potential is never realized.

a shame. it seemed cool from the outside, but it's just too minimalist and scarce to provoke any emotional response from me.

I wasn't completely enamored by this game. Visually it's interesting and there's a lot of ways you can interpret it, but the overall theming and "plot" (if you can even call it that) is par for course for stories that have similar settings. Still, the game deserves props for delivering a unique experience and for how intriguing the overall aesthetic is. It's a game that has merit by art rather than by game design. Props for inspiring a lot of interesting games in its style, too.
