played for the backloggd discord's game of the week may 2 - may 8, 2023

Iji is an inspired historical freeware title which i pay plenty of respect to, but simply did not have the patience for. while i admire the weightiness of the legitimate "choices matter" philosophy and synth drum samples, one small part of an incredibly powerful score (my personal highlight), the repetitive level and encounter design quickly grew dull, most certainly owed to poor upgrade investments. no one's fault but my own.

as well as the title definitely not being to my genre, i tried but just would not mesh. i more or less considered my experience of it alike a tasting platter, content in seeing Iji how i have, and may pursue a video or two to get some closure on her compelling story which begs completion of any kind.

it's not you, Iji, it's me :(
