As a PhD student myself, this game hit surprisingly close to home. The constant failures of experiments, the long hours, and the pressure to keep going no matter how drained you are all felt uncomfortably accurate. The struggles with publications and the never-ending sense of not being good enough or impactful enough were captured perfectly. That said, the combat is just okay. It works, but it is not the reason to play. The real strength here is the story. It carries the emotional weight of hardship, perseverance, and quiet self doubt in a way that feels both haunting and relatable. Overall, a solid thumbs up from me. The gameplay won’t blow you away, but if you value a powerful and personal story, this one is worth your time.
