I wasn't sure what to think about this game at first. So far I have really enjoyed the game (even playing in a super sleepy state). I like the interesting concept of having your eyes closed during the game and just listening to the story unfold before your "eyes?" and trying to survive based on your choices. I feel really sucked in to the story mode. So far I haven't experienced any bugs. I can't wait to play more of the game. :) This is definitely a different type of game play than I'm used to playing.

Fun little audio game with different short stories containing multiple endings, and choices to be made. A few of these are pretty good in my opinion, and one is turning out to be a little more interesting than initially thought. For the price, I'd say it's worth a go, and hopefully we will see more content for this or other audio games in future. As a side-note, it plays VERY well on a steam deck due to its touch screen and the games controls suited more towards mobile. It does work well enough using a mouse on PC though, but would perhaps benefit for an additional control type for the platform.
