I can't put into words what a bizarre story you can put into a little fun game. I'm overwhelmed... just wow. I think the visualization is well done from level to level, how the environment changes from "normal" to "uncomfortable" and finally "hope" is rewarded. The music is also suitable for the respective topic. The performance is increase by the controls, it kept simple but depending on the current level, it can be pure torture sometimes. Because you can't react in time at certain points and the character decides for some reason to run faster than a racing car without gears, which means I can't play the last level properly, and I almost have to break the game to somehow see the end. If the tracks were a bit longer in a few places and good mapping was used, it would be more pleasant to play. And not falling through the ground like a rocket every few seconds. So, now that I've finished my hate rant, I'll carry on as normal. The game is fun, collecting the collective to unlock a few extras that expand on the story is good. I also think it's good that the topic of social anxiety is addressed, whether you're perfect or a weirdo who has no place in life. In order to reinforce this feeling in the game, the visuals, text (most of which I couldn't read/that doesn't mean it's a negative thing), music and the character's own ever faster running are used. If you feel uncomfortable with the topic, you should get information or seek help. A tip for the victims and for unknown people who can unintentionally trigger panic by staring at another person. To conclude the review, it's a nice "short" thing you an give yourself, and you also learn something from watching the victim and the others. Believe me, it's worth playing through the game at least once, and if you feel like it you can also do 100% to see extra things in the diary. Anyway, this game is great for social anxiety experience. 8/10 Tears.
Thank you for playing my game and staying your interpretation of the story, always exciting to hear what other people think. Sorry to hear, that you got struggles with the gameplay though! Always know I appreciate your comments a lot, they help me to get better with every project!
