A searing strobe nightmare (positive), September 14, 2023
by pieartsy (New York)
Related reviews: seedcomp

This was a trippy game. It felt raw and beautiful in its depiction of ugly emotions and behaviors, in a way that reminded me of porpentine’s neon overstim nightmares. A wondrous headache of an experience. The art and effects were stunning aesthetic glitchy eyesores. Invoked all the right feelings, and they were all horrid and gross. I only played once, which was more than enough for me.

When I use words like eyesore, gross, headache, ugly, I use them with the impression that the author would be pleased by these descriptions. If the author is not, then I wish to assure them that I use these words in a positive and impressed way.

A surreal dream game with glitch graphics and adult content, March 14, 2023

This is a Seedcomp game, made with Super Videotome, a branching visual novel/IF engine.

It has a great deal of glitchy graphics that honestly look great and add a lot to the game atmosphere.

You play as someone stuck in a club for hours and hours on end. So long, you can't even remember why you're there.

From there, it branches quite a bit; a feature I really liked is that you can choose to skip a choice rather than choose anything, and that felt really authentic.

Mine ended up in an explicit sexual encounter with a biblically accurate angel. I don't associate explicit sexual content in games with positive feelings, and so it decreased my enjoyment of the game, however it was clearly signalled at the start of the game that it contains such content, together with strong profanity. The profanity use reminded me most strongly of the 14 yr old boys at my high school, so that's how I imagined the protagonist.

The best part of this game is the atmosphere and the surreal world.

I thought the atmosphere worked well.
