"The Prisoner show but made video game manifestation. Early spy fiction tone, a brainwashing/mind control conspiracy, and experimentally stylish in gameplay and visuals as all hell. Oozing with style and inspirations completely on its sleeve. Atmosphere is top notch, puzzles are well done and all but ask for a pen and paper, although not too tricky as something like La-Mulana. The mobile interface gimmick is also used really well. Wish it was more accessible and not understandably locked to Apple"

"Not all bad VN, but ultimately misses the mark. Lame criticisms of genre as someone who's not even experienced with it, fanbase is toxic and hard to disconnect from, probably tainted the Western view of VNs forever. It does a good job of highlighting depression and parasocial relationships, but a lot of its greatest parts fizzle out halfway through. The game itself isn't as bad as the culture around it, but the culture is hard to remove for me. At least it's free!"
