I..uh..huh... well, I'm not too sure WHAT I just played. It was like playing somebodies fever dream. The positives? The animations and backgrounds were varied. The voice quality was good. The whole thing was a bit insane, which kept me interested. :) I wasn't 100% sure whether the depiction of the refugee was social commentary, or if I should be offended, or both. I'm leaning towards both. But again, this kept me interested. The puzzles were pretty trial and error for me, which for a shorter game, isn't the end of the world. To quote the game, "this is a really crappy game'. Okay, I get it now.
What could have been a great story with clever allegories and social commentary is unfortunately held back by bad voice acting and a protagonist who speaks like a terrible parody of Apu from the Simpsons. It's a shame, since the world building and puzzles are good.
