This game was included in the "Visions From The Ceiling" Bundle. It was on sale and I really wanted to play Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk, the other game in it. I thought I would give this a go as well, as people who reviewed it said it was good. It would also be nice for me to read more indie visual novels!

Brief Description

You play as an unnamed protagonist who wakes up in their house and needs to study for an Anatomy exam. They make it a point to show that they are exhausted and unorganized throughout the game; they're so stressed and burnt out.

This game is a visual novel and point and click game entirely. You move throughout each room guided by the protagonist's thoughts and goals. A ways into the game, the main character starts to experience crazy things in her house-- and you uncover why.

Pros
-I enjoyed playing this. Even though the story is pretty straight forward, the writing is enjoyable to read.
-Well made. I think it was optimized and I liked the UI and overall aesthetic of the game-- with the color palette and visual noise.
-Has a good message to tell through the plot.

Cons
-Very short. Not much content. For $1.99-- it is okay.
-Story is kinda barebones. That is what it was going for-- the plot and symbolism was very explicitly told. I am not sure if I like that aspect-- as I like to interpret stuff at least a little.
-The art style is good! But it reminds me a ton of my DeviantArt days. Could be a little more polished overall, but not bad.

I did not regret reading this one bit. I think its interesting to experience someone's piece of art, like this. I do not think it is up there with my favorites, but it is good! Give it a shot if you are intrigued.
