A very short VN with some charm to it and an aesthetic I really dig. Honestly I'd say that the visuals were my favorite part of the whole thing, I love the harsh stark colors plus the environmental designs making the setting feel alien.
The tone can wildly flip flop between trying to be comedic, emotional, and atmospheric with varying success. I can totally see if people don't really jive with the constant rude and crassness of the main character, my tolerance for these types of characters is pretty high so it didn't bother me that much. The game tries to go for some emotional moments, and they just did nothing for me really. The game is super short so trying to get me to care for a character we only know through flashbacks is a losing battle. Comedy is super hard to write so I can't even blame the game for not really making me chuckle, but the attempts at humor undercutting other scenes feels very jarring.
For a visual novel with multiple endings with barely any choices, it sure is really hard to figure out what to do to get the other endings. Trying to get endings in this game is like banging your head against the wall, because there's so few choices in this game, Q.u.q. makes it so that all the choices matter in a way where you need to have a specific combinations to progress that and this wouldn't really bother me in other games but some of the combinations of choices you need to do feel so abstract that I needed to use a guide to get like 5 out of the 10 endings.
TLDR I think the game is at its best being a weird abstract vibes game with really nice visuals, and is kind of hit or miss with everything else.
