You're a small child at night, and there's a monster at the end of your bed.

Story: That summary above is all you get to know in the beginning, but through examining and (Spoiler - click to show)conversation the background story slowly unfolds. It's not much, the game takes maybe 15 minutes for an unsuccessful playthrough and probably not more than 30 minutes for a complete one. But it's a simple yet good story.

Writing: Quite good. Minimalistic but well written. Language transports content and vibes without ever becoming lengthy.

Puzzles: Typical one-room setting: Explore, try, find out. Only a few items so not much to do - it's a very short game. Puzzles suck a little due to underimplementation. A peculiarity of this game: Solving some puzzles actually hinders your progress. That's not bad design, it's part of the overall game. You'll find out about that after two or three minutes.

Implementation: Doesn't seem to have been tested. No bugs or such, but a lot of commands you had high hopes in yield no or generic answers. An updated version of the game would make it shine.

Fun: Would give it three stars normally, but despite its serious underimplementation and small size I really *enjoyed* it. So I give it a four, although it by no means compares to a full-size game that just lacks a little to be a five star one.

Warning: This is not a game, but rather a short story. Nothing to accomplish. I'd give it one star only usually, but...

It's amusing.

You should not be allergic to Greek mythology and cheap innuendos to enjoy it in a similar way. Especially not to cheap innuendos. It's a ten minute read, so there's nothing to lose here. It's trashy, but it has a heart.

EXODUS: Climate Activist is a CYOA game about a teenager finding his meaning in life by trying to join a militant environmental group. It plays like it was written by a teenager thinking he could find his meaning in life by trying to join a militant environmental group. Be a lone wolf! Get the hot chick anyway! Break out of your dull teenager life! Be a hero!

If you're a fan of Troma movies this might be a four star game for you. I'm not yet convinced it's satire so I'll give it two.
