Alright. [i]A Game About Flicking A Switch[/i] is done and dusted. This is another in the fine tradition of troll games on Steam, where breaking the Fourth Wall and engaging directly with the player is the focal point; the very thing that makes this game both hilarious and awesome. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3535440156 Everything is triggered by....you guessed it...flicking switches. As you progress, the game will continue to mess with you and attempt to get you to quit playing the game, lol. However, the level design and the sequence of events is actually very well thought out and a joy to behold, and so the game is destined to fail in its attempt to provoke you into rage quitting. The variety of different levels and challenges was quite impressive. Most noteworthy was the dark level, which, if you don't uncover the secret to, will actually put you in a position where the only solution is to quit and come back to try again. Except, in order to restart the...

About This Game
Are you looking for groundbreaking mechanics? There's one function in the game - you flick a switch.
Maybe award-winning graphics? Well, it is Unreal Engine 5. But let's be honest here, the engine is not in the slightest sense utilized to its highest ability in this game.
How about immersive story-driven gameplay? Nope. Not here. Unless you consider the story of you really reconciling with the fact you spent money to flick a virtual switch, when you and I both know you are most likely sitting in a room right now that has a few switches scattered around the walls. Have fun staring at your bank account later, wondering where it all went wrong as you dove helplessly into the immersive world of a 9x9x9 room with ONE SWITCH ON THE WALL FOR YOU TO INTERACT WITH.
Anyways, let's jump ahead to the key features:
There are none.
Depending on how you judge the "ending" of a game, or how you would quantify your sense of sanity in terms of time spent playing a game where you do absolutely nothing but stand in a single room flicking a single switch as time around you ticks on; endlessly disregarding any sense of desperation for it to slow down so that you may bask in the sanctity of joy for even a brief moment, until hopefully the power cuts out, or someone comes to your aide to end this troubling sense of self infliction -- It should take you around 1 - 30 minutes to complete the game.
Buy it, don't buy it. Totally your decision. This game will not keep you up at night, nor will it have you beckoning for more; but if for some reason it does butter your cups, douse your daisies in oil, or roll your drums, then I may consider you take some time away from gaming for a short period, or maybe the whole period.
I do not, in any sense of lacking the word, hope that you do not find, to any extent, any amount of enjoyment from this game.

There are also achievements that you can miss permanently and that are tied to choices, so you need to restart at least once if you want to get them all. Which seems fine, but once you finished the game there is no real way to restart. You need to go into the game files and delete your save, which isn't hard but stupid that you have to do that instead of just giving an ingame option for that. In addition to that, one of the achievements is straight up broken, doesn't work for tons of people and hasn't for months now. Another issue with that is that the game is quite slow. There are multiple instances where you just have to stare at a wall of text. Which is fun the first time, but considering if you are a completionist you need to play the game at least twice (potentially more times if you are not using a guide), it just gets annoying. There also seems to be a developer setting left over in the game that you can access by pressing F5, where you only see edges or something. I at first t...
