Much more akin to an interactive story than a game as per say standing at only 15 minutes long but still a really interesting experience. I especially loved how your role as the player ties into the games themes, that, alongside the strange music and the harsh and unclear visuals make this a truly novel but very well executed game.

Good writing of mental health, while still managing to be interesting, but my god the writing of the actual game is atrocious, leave the metatext stuff at the door, I really do not care about it.
It just comes off as super pretentious, I've interacted with a thousand different people who have this bad coping mechanism of acting like their mental illness makes them a quirky personality that everyone loves to interact with, and it's always so incredibly insufferable and this game pretty much personifies it, I can't get into the game's main character because I just see all those people I knew, It feels like if the game went on for any longer I'd be reading through the bi-daily vent post from them about how everything sucks but phrased in a way to be just pointlessly complex filled with absolutely obnoxious commentary on culture and society.

this is very much short but hard to call sweet. as someone who struggles with mental health, I liked how the game approached the topic, the experience felt relatable in some parts, and interesting when I couldn't completely relate to it. as a short one-time VN that's super cheap, even if I didn't "get" all of it, I enjoyed Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk.
