Overall I was very impressed with the game, 
which some would commonly describe as a walking 
simulator or combat & choice narrative. It is set 
in Vienna today and has an atmosphere that oscillates 
between oppressive and picturesque. You play a 
non-binary protagonist who is ignored or actively 
excluded or threatened by most of her neighbors in 
her apartment complex. At some point, ugly talking 
birds appear (a clear metaphor for the "Alt-Right"), 
which publicly threaten the protagonist, but only a 
few are willing to help the protagonist at all. The 
elements in which the whole thing is presented alternate 
between Kafkaesque & Lovecraftian. One of the most 
positive aspects of this story is the dense, oppressive 
atmosphere, which is underlined very well by the reduced 
color palette & the sound design, as well as the electronic 
or rock music. The only major point of criticism is the not 
very sophisticated turn-based combat system. 
8 out of 10. (:
