I can’t quite tell whether this game was in on its own joke or not. There are parts that indicate that it is poking fun at itself, though even then I’m… not really sure that really compensates for how buggy and broken it feels to interact with anything in this game. Beyond that, too, it’s not particularly fun: it’s a walking simulator where it’s constantly really unclear where you’re supposed to go or how you’re supposed to solve the… puzzles? the game throws at you. That said, though, it’s comedy gold. From the voice acting which is just an absolute delight (real “12 year old wants to be a serious voice actor but also doesn’t want to wake up his mom” vibes) to how the idea of endless torment seems to be… being teleported to different, identical apartment buildings and forced to climb up stairs endlessly, and when they’re not directly making the game worse to play shoddy animation and graphical glitches are a sight to behold. It’s kind of the perfect game to riff on and show to other people, even if… actually playing it is a bit more painful of an experience. 2/10.

Sure, your girlfriend looks - and behaves - like a semi-molten barbie. The evil voice in your head sounds like a 12-year-old with a voice changer in a CoD lobby. The story makes little sense, unless you're equipped with a brain wielding the power of a thousand burning suns. Yeah, even the credits are utterly bizarre and a bit of a fever dream.

But perhaps you're not supposed to take this seriously. At least that's what I'm hoping for. More of a comedy than actual horror. Absolute masterpiece of a game. Truly, the best one I've ever played.
