I wish I could give you better feedback, but I guess the best I can do is describe how I feel playing it.
This game provides the feeling unease, like I am being taken to a universe where I don't understand the core laws of physics. I don't know if I should be happy eating the food, or not. I don't know if progress is being made or not. I don't even know where I am. This just leads to more questions, but the downside is I don't feel like I will get answers. It reminds me of watching the dark web videos and stuff, it strange as the lack of answers. I want answers but at the same time, I think if you told me this was all a stunt or this is real and horribleness... I would lose interest completely. So... I don't know if that good review or not but, that what I can provide.
This is awesome feedback. Thank you for the insight, it may prove useful in future games.
As for answers, this devlog explains most of the design process and decisions. As the original game was made in about 15 hours (during a 48 hour game jam) I was aiming for something simple: a feeling. In that sense, it is more about what the game provides than about what the game is. Whatever the reality behind the game, the feeling of unease you had is still real.
