What players say
A simple yet elegant click adventure with social commentary. There is not too much depth to the story, but on the surface it is worthy the 20-30 minutes it takes to get through on the first playthrough. There is not much replayability (tasks, achievements, goals), but for a single playthrough it is worth a couple of bucks.
