Worst game i've ever played, 10/10. Wanted to rip my eyes out every reset but the feeling of completion is so rewarding.

This game incorporates the suffering of the player into the greater plot picture. If you're into it - then by all means get it. Unironically, the best worst game ever
There were no creatures, no sun and moon, and no beast. mildly normal about birds
