  • I think the game design is good and there are no faults with it.
  • I believe this game is not for everyone and suggest only those with strong wills or guts play it to the end.
  • I feel the game is particularly challenging for someone who struggles with mental health or has had past personal issues.
  • I think the game is advertised as light-hearted, but the small warning at the start is not sufficient to prepare players for what is to come.
