A reverse-detective adventure, where you control your character's face

Original gameplay mechanics that are well executed, strong concept and defined atmosphere, but sadly "Who's Lila?" ultimately lacks depth when it comes to the actual text. I was also negatively surprised when the credits rolled and saw that most of the faces had been AI generated. Immediately asked for a refund.

Let me preface this review by saying if you believe in solipsism or tulpas, then you need to be boiled in shit.
"Ah, but you see. You can't say with 100% certainty that the mind-" - the girl reading this, right before being boiled in shit.
Honestly I'm not sure where this game could have gone if it didn't introduce the supernatural stuff. It could have been a comfy cozy neurodivergantpilled simulator. But not, it had to add ARG shit.
"B-but saying it has ARG is a spoiler!"
Shut up. I'm tired of buying games and having the rug pulled with tumblr mechanics. Its not even necessary. It could have been completely removed and we'd be missing like, a few endings at best. Half of them suck anyway. If anything the dev is risking Elon Musk fucking X.com up and having dead links in his game.
The only times I felt legitimate fear or discomfort were the 'normal' interactions at school. Everything else sucked.
I guess what I'm trying to say is if you like homestuck, then give it a go. Also if you like homestuck I have some space reserved in my cauldron of boiling shit specifically for you.

O jogo mais macabro que já joguei, tanto pela história quanto pela manipulação das emoções do personagem, onde você luta contra a vontade de mostrar a real intenção dele. Tem mecânicas muito legais que engajam em muito no jogo e que são de cair o queixo do quão criativas são.
