The president blowing up the moon with nuclear missiles ("To be brutally frank. I have just destroyed our world." – amazing line) for reasons that are a little bit difficult to grasp is, no contest, the best political commentary there has been or will be in the jam.

In general, this is incredibly weird, but not necessarily in an unenjoyable way. The protagonists do remain a little thin due to the very short length; I wish we had more details about their lives or something to characterize their responses to this situation more distinctly. I would call the conceit at large similarly abstract – the supernatural element has little time to land since it all goes by so fast. But the falling shards of the moon make for some very evocative imagery even when the descriptions don't do a lot with them, and the final scene is stylish.

Apart from that, Erebus's custom UI component is very nice to look at, and the 3D-rendered backgrounds work to create a jarring mood in conjunction with the surreal story. On the whole, I would call this a submission that is rudimentary in many ways but just weird and memorable enough to stand out.

Hello! Thank you so much for giving my story a read through!

Yeah, I'm not going to lie when I thought of this and wrote it I was a bit delirious due to it being around 1 am and I had realized my previous idea wouldn't fit the theme after almost finishing it. So I just kinda said fuck it and wrote this. I plan to somewhat give the story a re-write which would include some new story behind the duo that would be set weeks/days before this all goes down, so I appreciate your review immensely!

I'm so grateful for Erebus for making the custom UI because it really expedited the coding aspect! Once again thank you for checking this out and giving me your thoughts!
