A short experience that doesn't leave much for player choice, but that clearly wasn't the intent. This game was simply a glimpse into how the character in it feels, all the struggles and pains it takes to do something as simple as buy some milk. Sadly, it doesn't really explore this all too much, it's a game that only lasted me 15 minutes, and didn't end up saying as much as I wish it could. I know about and have the sequel though, and hope to get to it soon.

My largest gripe is how the horrible, mean comments you can make are handled. I didn't touch them on a first playthrough, because being so mean to even a fictional character already suffering enough made me feel horribly guilty. But as I kept playing, I thought it was saying something. I would never want to hurt this person, but through my life I always have these kinds of intrusive thoughts, and constantly end up hurting myself. Why do I do this? Why would a mind so free to express itself be so cruel? Is this what I'm meant to do? To treat this person like myself, with all the hatred and malice that comes crawling in the back of my mind? Not really. It just gives you a game over.
