Extremely but purposefully repetitive; interesting concept and execution, February 3, 2016

The majority of this game consists of delivering newspapers. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

That said, the game is enjoyable. There are somewhere around 8 or 9 NPC's of wildly different personalities, some of which don't pop up until later. You converse with everyone while delivering the newspapers.

There is a villain, but it's hard to know their plan. In fact, it's hard to know anything in the game, until the end.

I had trouble reading the newspapers when I played on Frotz on the iPad. The formatting was off. But most people shouldn't have that issue.

Note that the game lasts about a week in-game.

I don't strongly recommend the game, but it's interesting enough that you should check it out.
