Well made visual novel w/ game elements
The bad: The game is too short -- it doesn't need filler, instead it could use another chapter or two, perhaps focusing on supporting characters. The story doesn't branch enough (i.e. doesn't have enough game elements). This is probably just a reflection of the developer(s) not having enough time and money to build out more gaming features. The good: I played this more than a year ago and I still remember it with a sort of fond sadness. Very well delivered story that cleverly references ELIZA, one of the very first chatbots developed at MIT back in the late 1960's. If you are into philosophy, psychology, or any field that tries to understand what makes humans tick, this little game is definitely worth your time. It's certainly not Disco Elysium, but it fits pretty nicely into that same headspace -- exploring a sort of cold loneliness that, nonetheless, contains threads of optimism and mystery. We really could benefit from more games like this one!
