Single-serve horror. TV Dinner gaming. Utterly expendable.
The buildup is perfunctory, the aesthetics dull, and the 'gut-punch' ending resembles an awkward slap. The only shock is purely text-based, so LPers make videos about it without hesitation or thought. And it's just that: a well-oiled machine good for making chunks of change. Some years ago a game with similar sensibilities was released with the same result, and somehow received even greater acclaim.
It was called Doki Doki Literature Club.
