❤ Narrative and Storytelling

The game presents a multi-layered, non-linear story that players must discover and reconstruct through their own interpretation and imagination. The narrative is dynamic and responsive to player choices, with the story 'squirming' under the influence of the decisions made.

The game explores deep, thought-provoking themes such as the fragile nature of reality and the dark humor underlying life. Players compare the narrative to the works of Samuel Beckett and Franz Kafka, creating a unique literary-inspired experience.

The story is described as a 'powerful experience' that gets 'under your skin' and makes players question everything about themselves.

❤ Atmosphere and Presentation

The game features a bizarre, compelling world filled with hand-made objects, artifacts, and abstract environments that are digitally painted.

The soundtrack and soundscape are carefully composed and aligned to the story and world, creating an immersive, unsettling atmosphere.

The visual presentation is praised for its inventive, varied, and aesthetically pleasing use of collages, photographs, drawings, and other multimedia elements.
