What players say
I'm not sure what to think about this one. Am I upset I spend my time and money on it? No. Was I ever lost or confused about what to do next? No. Did I understand the story? No. Will I continue playing to see the other endings? No. Did I enjoy my time? No. Would I recommend it? Maybe to a specific, small subset of people. Otherwise, no.
I've had a better experience taking fentanyl and meth at the same time than playing this game. Went from some asset flip to a schizo trip through vore heaven. Got softlocked at some part and I can't bother to continue playing this. Main issues: - lack of hints, had to run around the island and lightouse a few times to find out what to do - objective issues, i had to crank the lighthouse thing 3 times one time...
a true masterpiece game. i noticed some reviews are negative and people are claiming they were lost and didnt know where to go. i think there are a lot of very dumb people on this earth
