Exciting concept, poor execution
I'm impressed by the idea of a game that addresses monoculture and the risks that our modern world pose for our species. However, the plot and message of the game were very 2 dimensional, and the social commentary was often contradictory (simultaneously criticizing society's response to homelessness and urban development in the same article) and poorly thought out (seemingly blaming all of the in-game society's ills on conspiratorial capitalists with little introspection). The game starts out by immersing you in a boring slow life. You waste time on a pointless smartphone game, reading text messages from work, and walking slowly throughout a grey city. But halfway through the game, you're still reading text messages from work and walking slowly throughout a grey city (I gave up the smartphone game early on). The plot fails to advance itself and the gameplay itself becomes very boring. At the beginning, the slow pace could have been an artistic choice, but by the end, it just felt like the makers ran out of ideas. This seems more like the first chapter of a game that (with a better developed plot) could have been pretty good. As it is, even with all the slow monotonous walking, I finished my first run in just under 3 hours (had to replay one section due to a bug). Overall, for a game that is priced in the upper end of the indie game range, it is very underwhelming.
