“I understand some of the bad reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The story, world, art, and music are all great. The gameplay is addicting. I do wish there were clearer instructions/guidelines for the appraisal system, 40+ hours in and I still don't quite get it.…”

“I love it. The "cozy paperwork" gameplay is very absorbing and creates a unique storytelling format much like 'Papers, Please'. Lots of branching story paths, ways to strategize or fail, and interesting dystopian themes.”
