sorry about the mix-up, that's even worse! i may have smoothed it over in my mind.

That was wonderful and so creative! I love the work on the music especially, each soundtrack fits the scene perfectly and delivers that weird, uneasy and sometimes even soothing feeling. The artstyle and the work on the environments is also very satisfying to look at and feels immersive. I liked how it could be read as a story about being plural too, but the fuzziness of what constitutes the self was conveyed in such a haunting and beautiful way~
I actually had to read No Exit after playing the game because I felt like I was missing some grander context. And having now read it, I can definitely say that if my best friend whom i was in love with made me play Estelle while she played Inès from Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit i would also commit crimes.
I absolutely loved this. It hits precisely where it hurts, but it's a kind of subdued, numbing pain. It feels very nostalgic, and conveys perfectly the comfort you can find in picking at an old wound and letting it swallow you. I had to go lay down on the floor after playing, 10/10 would play again. I didn't even get mad at the jumpscares because they were so effective and had something to tell! I had never heard of "kinetic VN" before but now I can definitely see what that means, I loved it. Thank you for this game.
The controls can get a bit clunky, but once you've got the hang of them it works fine imo. If like me, you struggle with interacting with the tables, try coming at them from the right bottom-side. To interact with the clients, you have to be in their grid so either right in front or next to them. You can use the Enter key instead of Z.
Hope that helps!
I could never reach a good (if there is any) or true ending, because I got too freaked out to try to beat the chase sequence again and again haha Maybe one day I'll be brave enough, but for now I have to rest my case about how creepy this game manages to be.There were many times where I had to peek through my fingers at the screen, such as when you are given a full screen of the window next door... The game manages to play with your anticipation and use it against you.
