It's hard to give this game a fair rating. The premise is that it's only intended to be a 30 minute game, which is great for those of us who don't have much time, but it leaves you wanting more; not in a good way. The first time you play, it's fun to go through the odd scenarios presented and pretend what you would do if you were in the situation in real life. Everything is entertainingly mysterious. Who are these people? What are their motives? What do they want from me? Are they my friends? Is this a cult? Why is everyone so strange? Am I in danger? Do I play along to survive or make a fuss? On your third or fourth play, you begin rushing though just to see the alternate endings and eventually just search them on YouTube. However, because it's only 30 minutes long, there isn't much story background or character development. No game tree you go though reveals the who, what, or why of the "elephant in the room." I will say the "middle ending" does result in a nice allegory about society. It's fun for 30 minutes as advertised. Longer if you want to explore the other game trees. You'll probably install, play, and uninstall on the same day.
