This was extremely fun! From the unsettling surreal vibe of the visuals to the pounding notes of the piano, it really squirmed itself into my gut as I was playing, and I was torn between laughing at parts and being unnerved at others. Something about the combo took me back to playing this random CD-ROM game called Artrageous when I was a kid lol -- it too had this kind of... I don't know... unsettling aesthetic mixed with surreal art and classical-style music.
I absolutely loved the faces -- and the sheer number of varieties! They were so creative and feel like they must have taken a while to both come up with and do! Plus I enjoyed the fact that you could get different ones every time, so I made sure to replay from the title to try and see all the different ones. Some of them were truly grotesque, I will say LOLOL And the art of the BG and sprite were both so well done?? It truly looks like we've stepped into the world of a painting. A horrorific one perhaps! But a painting nonetheless. And the incredibly unique (and mildly chaotic) UI also helped to emphasize this.
I got a good kick out of the text and Graey's building rage. ALSO THE ENDING NAMES. THE SHREDDED ONE I WAS LITERALLY WHEEZING. Between the abstract faces, the chaotic colors and UI, and the amusing text, it really felt like descending into madness by the end. It took me a while to figure out how to finally get the last ending! Or I guess "ending 1" hahaha. I tried a ton of different combos in the choices before I was like wait... and then finally figured it out. That was really clever hahaha. Particulaly in getting to see Graey get even more and more irate the more you keep clicking the same options lol.
At any rate, tons of fun. I enjoyed this a lot!! Definitely one of the most unique VNs I've ever played and I feel like I'm going to keep thinking about this throughout the day. I can still hear those droning echoey notes of the piano in my head GODDD lolol.
