Unfortunately the experience of this game isn't good. It's very slow, janky and it's unclear what exactly the goal is. There are inconsistencies in the UI text and sometimes scenes skip altogether. I was hearing music from the cutscenes within the main menu at random points. Too many other issues to list. Also very disappointing to read about the use of AI in this game. They say "some" and the proceed to list: "Some elements of the game have been generated using AI, including few background images, two general songs. Additionally AI was used to modify some game textures, AI was used to modulate recorded voices to better fit the outlook of 3D modelled characters, and some elements of the user interface were translated using AI." This could have been an interesting project but as it currently stands, no, not for me.
